During the total rebuild of my 3.0 TDV6, including replacing the crankshaft, I cannot guarantee that the starter ring/fly wheel, whatever you want to call it, was placed back in the correct position. This makes no difference to general operation of the vehicle, however it does cause issues when it comes to timing procedure. Long story short, the engine was back in the car with the body down and buttoned up before realising this could be a possibility (engine was turned over by hand to be sure valves weren't introduced to pistons).
Posting now because the car is only cranking and I'm getting a P0341-3a error (too many pulses).
So, to the main question: When the pins are inserted into the camshafts to lock them in position, where EXACTLY is #1 piston? Is it bang on TDC? A little past?
Thanks in advance, guys.. In a bit of a sticky situation here..
