RE: Timing a 16v

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Ok then. ahve you looked and cleaned and everything in the bell housing to 
look for the arrow? If you have done this and still cant find the arrow then 
some crack head has removed this important part of your tranny and as a 
result you will have to time it by eye ( almost as fun as timing the car 
without the flywheel in right).
