The timing marks are very important; however, there is one thing that drove me nuts until I figured it out. I lined the dots up and then I figured I'd spin the engine around a few times to confirm timing. Well, what a mess. the dots never matched up again. I spun, reset, spun, reset face-orange-frowning. In my frustration I figured I'd highlight the dots with a little paint. Around, around again and then I noticed... The crank, injector gear, and cam gear did line up, it was only the idler gear that didn't line up. I was going to count teeth but I'm assuming the gear count is not divisible into the other gears and is an "odd" count. I guess this is to ensure a slow rotation of the teeth engagement to balance wear. Duh...
Thanks 😊

It does take a lot of rotations to finally get them lined up again.
