I think on mine I have a "0" - I think with a dash either side - so "-0-".

I have to be honest I never actually checked this was TDC accurately - I just followed the greenbook and assumed it was. Mine runs well, and no valve smash after cambelt swap so it must be TDC or close to it. I don't get the MPG I would expect though, and always consider playing around with the injection timing a bit to see if I can find sweeter spot.

Although if "0" isn't very accurately TDC, cam timing would also be out on mine. What are the symptoms of having cam timing too advanced/retarded on these engines?
