My '82 flywheel has 5 bolt holes in an irregular pattern that can only be
mounted one way if all 5 bolts are installed.  I can't imagine a way that it
could be off.  How do you know the engine is at TDC?  Are you looking at the
#1 piston?  Are you sure it's a diesel Vanagon flywheel?

  Does anyone know if it's possible to install a flywheel
  incorrectly on a 1.6 diesel.  My engine isn't on tdc when
  I align the flywheel and bell housing marks.  If so, how do
  I know the correct position if I were to remove the flywheel
  and reinstall it?
