It has been said that timing the A series engine can be greatly simplified by observing the timing marks on the flywheel through the access port at the top of the transmission. This as apposed to craning your body around to view the notch in the crank pulley in relationship to the "timing teeth" attached to the front timing chain cover while a friend twists the distributor position.
I have looked for these and believe that any marks that may have been there were likely removed when I had my flywheel lightened. I have seen 1/4 = TDC on early Minis as well as 5, 10, & 15% advance marks.
So, should I forget this option or reestablish the TDC and other marks on my flywheel and some sort of reference mark on the transmission case?
