timing dot

idon't know how to add a picture,so i will try to discribe ,, putting in new injectors today , i pulled the ip, without removing the gear housing put in all the new injectors, put in alll new zd9 plugs ,but one witch broke off (i'll get back at that one) --then i had to do it, i had to. i pulled the gear cover off but am i glad i did, before i got started with the whole operation i set the tdc marks on the balancer , when i lifted it off the lower gear i was able to see a little brass dot , and the ''y'' on the uper gear, they were 2 teeth apart, i'm suprised it ran at all . i took a picture with my phone although it's not the clearest, you can see the ''brass dot''
i lined the dot & the y put it all back together wet through the bleeding prosses and it never ran or sounded like it does now i got a good mind to weld those nuts holding the gear cover on, so i don't have an other
a-d-d moment

little brass dot , and the ''y'' on the upper gear,
Unfortunately the Ys go with Ys and the DOTs go with DOTs for IP gear alignment. Sounds like you could be 180 out........
