Default Timing mark question
Is this the tdc mark or is the other white line the tdc mark ?

The pointer looks aligned with the TDC1 mark.

Your mechanical timing is off by a tooth or two.

Don't get distracted. The other mark is NOT the TDC1 mark. Set the timing correctly.

Yep

Then turn the crank pulley a couple of revolutions counterclockwise to verify that the timing is still correct. Then tension the belt.
