Timing chain alignment

Featured Replies

Morning I am now back to doing my car I cannot find any way of locking the flywheel I have searched YouTube the last couple of evenings, the reason is I have the engine at TDC, marks on the camshafts facing up, dots on rear of sprockets aligned and the fuel pump marks aligned however the timing mark on the flywheel is at 5 o clock not 12 as on social media and the crank holding tool does not align with the dowel it is 6 mm out Auto data does not give any solution. Does anyone have an answer I think it’s incorrectly timed as the crank holding tool is out of alignment but even adjusting this won’t bring the flywheel to 12

I have found some information, the flywheel does not require timing as the ECU measures the reluctor so my remaining issue is the crankshaft holding tool alignment.
