Hey all,
Just finished buttoning a BF30 back together after replacing the head gasket. I marked the belt and the gears at a few different places but i cant seem to get all my registration marks to match up now that its all together.
If I take the belt back off, Is there a TDC mark that I can match up with the 2 gears to make sure the timing is good before I even think about starting her up?
I'm used to interference engines that are kaput if you run them off time and I'm not sure if that's the case with these motors.
 
Not familiar with the 30, but betting this 25 is close. I can share that the marks on the cam are pretty easy to find/line up. The one on the flywheel take some care to find! The one on the flywheel itself can be very lightly marked. I can also share the if the motor has a lift ring on it, the timing mark may not be visible with the lit ring in place.

Holler if you need more help. A picture of the top of your motor may help.
