The engine is a 3.5 EFI high compression in and 87 range rover.
Problem 1
What should the timing marks be like on this engine? The attachment shows a square section cut out in the pully and a piece of metal that could be the pointer.
If these are the timing marks then what part of the notch is TDC etc (righthand/lenft hand edge or the middle). The workshop manual doesn't give any explenation to timing marks and there is not writing like TDC or degrees before on the engine/pully.
Problem 2
What should the static timing be set to?
The workshop manual says TDC for the EFI which doesn't sound right to me. I haven't yet tried this as i'm not sure on the timing marks.

That look like a V notch, so the centre of it. £.5 HC EFi, I'll have a look for you but it won't be a lot, maybe 4 degrees.
Funny but the LSE should be 8 degrees, that's a lot. It was running at TDC, so 8 deg out and you couldn't ell except it was getting hot with the 'van on.
