[Chrysler300] Timing Marks in general

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt and all,

A quick word re: harmonic balancers:  do not trust the "reference" mark on 
yours - unless you have tested / calibrated it against TDC .  I recently 
took "a pile" of used harmonic balancers I had accumulated over the years, 
when disassembling engines; and I checked them on an engine that was at TDC, 
on a stand.  Out of about 10 balancers, only two were accurate to within 5 
degrees . The others were all "out to lunch" - some by ten degrees, some by 
twenty degrees, some by a whole lot more.

If your harmonic balancer is original and has not been rebuilt, there is 
more than a good chance that it's no longer accurate, and that the outer 
ring has "walked" .
