OK, so I have a thread in OEM:

Does that look like the correct position for a timing chain at TDC on the compression stroke? I'm only asking in SoCal because I figured some of you might actually be able to swing by and take a look if need be.
But before I popped off the balancer, I checked, and rechecked I was at TDC on the compression stroke by removing the #1 plug, shoving my finger in it, and turning the engine until I could feel air press, at which point, I then continued to turn until the mark on the HB reached 0 degrees.
It just doesn't seem like it would run if the timing was that far off.
