1. Normal timing marks are located on the flywheel, thru the observation hole in the bottom of the bell housing. (different locations per manufacturer)
2. Good idea to loosen all lock nuts prior to doing the adjustments. (not mandatory)
3. If your engine is already warmed up, check your spec sheet in the manufacturer manual for the hot adjustment.
4. 15 mm wrench for tightening lock nuts on the adjusting screws.
5. Timing marks are added to the vibration dampener here at the school (ref. #1)
6. Torque the lock nut to manufacturer specifications.
