Stock pulley will have two marks -- a v-notch on the rim nearest the engine, and a broader circular notch on the second rim. The circular one is TDC and the other is set to the timing spec for that engine. Replacement pulleys have only the circular notch since it's not known where they're going. The v-notch on a 2.1l should be 7.5 mm to the right of the center of the TDC mark (Bentley 13.33) to give 5 degreees BTDC. >However, what I can't figure out is which way the While watching with a timing light, the timing marks will appear to move to the left as you advance the timing. You can remember this by the placement of the two marks -- if the TDC mark is lined up, it will have to move to the left to line up the 5 BTDC mark. d
