Yes, you should verify the timing marks. The timing marks (on the plastic timing belt cover) in this case have nothing to do with ignition timing which is determined by the position of the cranshaft. I have two bad harmonic balancers on our fleet of 700 series turbos with combined fleet milage being about a million miles on more cars than I want to confess to owning.

You stated that I have only a 50% chance of installing the flywheel correctly if I have not determined that #1 cylinder is at TDC of compression or exhaust stroke. Could you explain to me this could be? The crankshaft and flywheel are in the same exact position whether #1 cylinder is on compression or exhaust stroke. Please explain to me how the flywheel position changes going from TDC of #1 cylinder compression to TDC of #1 cylinder exhaust stroke.

Can you look at the hole void (of the timing ring on the ring gear) while it is positioned at the bottom of the starter opening and tell if #1 cylinder is at the top of the compression stroke or the exhaust stroke? If you can tell this, please explain to me, so I can tell whether #1 cylinder is the top of compression or exhaust stroke when the crankshaft is at TDC for #1 cylinder.
