50/50. Remove the valve cover and check the valve clearances. If any has excessive clearance, it is bent.

Turn piston to TDC and then turn it away 20 degrees before you attempt to turn the camshaft.

Hi staro55,

You meant the ignition timing mark or timing belt marks?

If there is no mark on the pulley, you would have to gauge the TDC of piston with the aid of a screwdriver down the plug hole.
