this is not the first HB that has walked around the world and moved the timing marks...the spinning motor has enough forse to let it walk around the circle...holding it in your hand and trying to turn it does not work...
good idea making new marks for the temporary fix...
as these cars age, this will happen more and more...

This is the harmonic balancer aligned on the crank pulley. Everything has been verified at TDC, so the white dot should be at the TDC marker on the "grid". as you can see, it's around 130* off of where it should be. I made a yellow dot at the actual TDC and set timing to that. I know that I can't trust the mark to do any further adjustments. next time the motor comes out, I'll replace it with a new piece.
this thread should put on a special section for future reference to other members, great info here i am glad I was able to help/
