I have the pulley at TDC #1, and I remember the small alignment stud on the flywheel side was 4 o-clock. I was cramped when I fit the flywheel (its heavy), and I was concerned after the fact that I turned it one hole clockwise or anti-clockwise before I mounted all 8 bolts and still might have that stud "out-of the hole" on the flywheel backside.


I didnt know the flywheel bolt pattern was staggered as it looked even spaced to me.
