16v timing

[rocco2nr@hotmail.com (Joe Doty)]

Sounds like your flywheel has been incorrectly installed, meaning the timing 
marks are off.  I don't trust the mark on the lower timing cover either.  To 
get the timing exact, I prefer to put the skinny end of a micrometer down 
the #1 spark plug hole, and make sure the mark on the cam gear lined up 
correctly.
