How to set timing on 1997 Vitara?

[fixkick]

Hello,
good the light.
the timing markes are on 2 places, a rim notch on the damper pulley,(front crank pulley)\
and the mark scale here. on belt cover. above pulley
its all here.
hot engine.
set timingfreeze jumper, pin 4 to 6. paper clip works,
idle 800.rpm..
time light to #1 spark wire, (front)
I paint the pulley notch with chock, or liquid paper, paint.
if timing is frozen, and not bouncing its ready to time it, if not, fix it. now. three are 9 ways for freeze to fail, covered in link.

see fast track here, (engine runs)

our hood sticker show spec for timing Degr. BTDC, 5 or 8 it can be. most are 5deg BTDC. (to the left of zero one scale.

hope you find your DLC. tell me where you find it, fun to know where all countries hid it.
like easter egg hunt...weeeeee, yes, sick.

Just received my light gun that I ordered fom the net

My DLC located at the near the right front head light (looking from the driver place)

Please tell - do I need to remove the timing belt cover to find the degree sign?
