Huh. I wasn't able to find any hole, but maybe I missed it. I didn't install
this myself. The flywheel is the one that come w/ the Fast Forward kit I'm
assuming - don't know 100% for sure. If in fact the hole does exist and I
can find the marks on the flywheel... is there a possibility that it still
might not be TDC, i.e. the flywheel was not correctly oriented when
installed? I'm unfortunately not too familiar with that end of the engine.

Thanks,
Doug

Good question. What flywheel are you using?

The KEP flywheel has marks and the 15 degree adapter a hole that I
assume lines up with the marks when the engine is a TDC. I have not
installed the parts to verify this. The mark is on the back face of the
FW. I specified a 15 degree diesel kit when I ordered from KEP.
