Harmonic Balancer Orientation Question - SixSpeed - 09-19-2010
Hey Guys,
When I received my Unimog, the crankshaft bolt was broken off in the crankshaft. When I got the truck I pulled the harmonic balancer/pulley assembly off. No big deal as it was keyed. Fast forward about 6 months, and with the bolt out of the crankshaft, it is time to put the balancer back on and get this truck on the road!
Slight problem...the key to align the balancer has gone MIA. So that leaves me with a 50/50 chance of getting it on in the right place. Those odds are not very good!
Any suggestions? Would it be possible to find TDC and use the timing marks or something? HELP!

If you remove the valve cover you can see marks for the cam shaft near the gear on the driver's side, if you line those up it should be able to give you a reading of about 2 degrees on the crankshaft.
