Dave,
This is it, thanks. So, assuming the mark on my wheel is TDC, 4 degrees =
4.8mm or .189" or 3/16".
Can someone check my math?
Thanks,
bill

Bill,
I came across this link awhile back regarding locating TDC on an assembled
engine and then deterimining where to put the timing mark.

It seems like it would work but I haven't tried it.
