You are absolutly correct in that you should check to make sure the
timing marks and the index scale is accurate. You don't have to do it
the way the manual says though. You can do it the "old fashoned" way.
Pull # 1 plug and rotate the crank to bring it up to TDC. You can
stick a dial indicator in the spark plug hole and find TDC that way.
Then just compare to the indexing scale. You can also get close just
by eye. A degree or 2 is no big deal.
