[doc] Distributor TDC Problems

["nick12dmc" <Tammyfew@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
       I have traced the cause of LJH's bad running.
When I re-installed the distributor I placed the rotor arm in line
with the timing mark on the distributor. However in the manual
it shows the timing mark on the pulley in line with the 13deg
mark on the timing cover. 
 As it was late at night I did not do a physical check that No1
piston was at Top dead centre oops:-(
In one of those "Hang On" moments I realised it should have
been in line with the 0deg mark on the timing cover. DOH!
I checked this with a pressure test gauge on No1 piston to
confirm it was TDC.
Out comes the distributor again!
