Hi,
I am new to the forum but not to cars. I am a Volvo guy and wrench mostly on vintage 240s but have worked on many vehicles. I have a 1987 924S.

Reinstalling my engine and forgot to mark alignment of automatic flywheel to the damper/starter ring gear. There is a little notch on edge of damper/ring gear and 3 lines etched into the flyweel. 1 is on the side closest to engine and 2 closer to where damper bolts to flywheel. Does one of these lines have to align with the notch in the damper/ring gear?

I read the factory manual and it says that the marking with "OT" is for top dead center alignment. Another notch in flywheel is to align top dead center when you can see marking through hole in bellhousing. I am thinking the one that aligns with the notch in the damper is the last one in the following pictures. Is that correct? Thanks.



notch in damper






notch closer to engine side

The cutout near the alignment pin in your first pic should line up with the line in your fourth pic.

Thanks, that's what I thought and needed some confirmation!
