At the risk of adding to the mire, I'd like to point out that is unlikely on a TR2-4 motor. Unlike the TR6 (where that problem is rather common), the TR2-4 does not have the pulley mounted on rubber. The mark could be wrong by increments of 60 degrees (due to improper assembly of the pulley/hub), but not by only 6 degrees (unless perhaps the crank key is sheared or the pulley hub is badly damaged). My opinion, if one were to find a timing mark off by a few degrees on a TR2-4 motor, it's time to tear it down and find out why. It probably indicates something about to come apart.
