Ivan,



I've been watching the responses to your timing question and I think 

the responses so far may have missed your point. Are you talking 

about the TWO timing marks on the 1.8L pulley? The white one, which 

is most advanced on the pulley (The left one when looking from the 

front of the car) is the wrong mark. setting your timing to this does 

no harm other than the car runs like a dog 'cause the spark's too 

retarded. The yellow one  (The right one when looking from the front 

of the car) is the mark to use. The paint has dulled on the marks on 

my car so I can't differentiate the colors any more so I have to use 

the above rule all the time when I set my timing. If this isn't the 

question you're asking, well, maybe this explanation will help 

someone else.
