    So, I went to set my timing the other day and the harmonic balancer has 2 sets of lines that look factory engraved on it. Two of them are together, only about an 1/8" apart and the other line is clockwise about 2 inches down from the other 2.
    Are the 2 lines that are together for initial timing and the line by itself the 30* line? Anyone else's like that?
    Thanks!

    Set the #1 piston to TDC and see which line lines up to your timing cover 0* mark. Use that groove. Best to fill groove with paint. I have never seen multi grooved balancer - perhaps someone else will chime in on that.
