Type 44 Cylinder Head Question

[Michael Wakefield]

Eric,
When I changed the timing belt on my 93S4, I found that the mark on the 
flywheel was about 2 inches from true top dead center (as determined by 
a stick down spark lug hole no 1). There was absolutely nothing on the 
flywheel where it should have been. I would locate true top dead 
center, and proceed from there.
