So far only the mark on the T-belt has not been very accurate.  I believe it's because
its flexible and a bolt on item.  However the oil pump housing has been a very good
approximation to me.This is only good for checking.  To set up a new timing belt I do use
the flywheel and adjust it as Bentley shows, to a point where only half of the zero is
visible.
