(1) turn the dampener till the slit is about an inch or slightly more than a inch to the left (BTDC) of the zero (TDC) mark on the tab (2) thread in the tool till it makes contact. (3) With a sharpie make a mark on the dampener at the zero mark on the tab. (4) hand turn the crank CCW till it makes contact again & make another sharpie mark on the dampener at the zero (TDC) mark on the timing tab same as before. (5) remove the tool. (6) With a strip of paper (a tape ain't flexible enough) measure the distance between your 2 marks & if your dampener TDC slit is halfway between that measured distance you are dead on. If not, then make a new mark with white paint on the dampener halfway between your 2 dampener measured marks & use that instead of the original TDC slit. With TDC confirmed you can make new advance marks. 0.0632683" around the circumference is (1) degrees so you can make your new timing marks with your calculator & some easy math & 4 of em (10-15-20 & your total is plenty). For example 2&7/32" is 35 degrees (total) EDIT Make new advance marks on the dampener to the right (clockwise) of your new TDC mark with you facing the eng

Because the part I haven't seen anyone mention is once you have the two locations there the crank locks against the dead stop now you measure the distance between those two points split it & thats where you put a true TDC mark...
