Some times the timing light and the operator will see the timing different than you will see with your timing light, been there done that shruggy
Not every engine builder or hot rod mechanic will verify TDC exactly on the timing tab and balancer work Never ASSUME anything, especially on race cars tsk grin


Cab, I can say without a doubt that the tab on this engine is correct, with zero on the tab and balancer being tdc . It is something that I always check. The dyno shop that we used builds some high $ engines and do a lot of dyno work. I am confident we were @ 33* . We started @ 35* and then backed it down. I know my Hemi likes 32* . beer
Thanks,
Mark
