The facts: 1955? Massey Harris 33, Continental engine. Brand new total rebuild at highly respected engine shop of 60 plus years. Firing order is supposedly 1342. #1 piston is at TDC on compression stroke. Fought this thing all day and shop engine builder even came out to help for the last hour. Flywheel is attached in the only way it is designed to go on. BUT timing mark area is past up from the timing mark by about a foot! This must be wrong? Shop rep is puzzled also so I don't feel so ashamed. Is there cause to think the assembly inside engine was not done right? This is not brand specific, really engine mechanic basics. I am not as ashamed since he afirms my concerns. Not an emergency but I have work for the old girl now if I can get it back together. Thanks for any help/suggestions/confirmation that this does not sound right.
