A very good video, except when marking a balancer and then determining the TRUE TDC mark on the balancer, the timing marker tab then needs to be moved to his marks, OR more correctly, his 2 pieces of tape should have averaged around his current fixed timing tab. Note how he places the two pieces of tape, then turns the engine to show the middle of the gap line up with the timing tab ZERO mark. Now is the engine at TDC? NO it is NOT at TDC.
