The mark on the damper just doesn't matter. Its the dots on the cam/crank gears that MUST be lined up properly. Everything else should fall into place. (assuming you aren't touching the distributor.
The crank makes two full revolutions to get thru the whole firing order. (4 cycle engine. ) So, while both the 8, and 6 have cylinder 1, the six is short two in the firing order, (and I don't recall what exactly it is at the moment) so, whatever cylinder is 4th in your firing order, will be the one in firing position when the dot on the cam gear is at the bottom. I have no idea why the manufacturers decided to do it that way. I see SOOOOO many folks rebuild engines, and then wonder why it won't start the first time around, only to find timing is 180 out.....

Lol...yea i left it in ..4now
i cant. get the darn top sprocket in ..whilw lower is in place an that tight tensioner
Whats the trick ? Im going fron top
Can get bottom started an by the time its close to grove at top one its too tight to get up into it.
i tried a socket the exact size of inside of sprocket on a bolt thats same thread as one going inside top spocket but cant get it to slide in ....
Grrrr☹

I really dont want to do what might make it even tighter..
Im tempted to pull pin out but that may make it more tight..would be good if it were replacable stand alone
Maybe i can wedge a driver up in it more ..like last pic ..
..
if there's some play in that direction outward ?
The wire across is just across there at front to prevent chain from jumping out of tentioner .
tried it without many times .
I bet theres a round socket typebolt in tool with keyway that would help to slide / tap top sprocket in also.

Or w way to nudge tention to release more.
Does this screw come out? At bottom
