Just so you know, I quoted what I disagree with, and with no intention to obfuscate. We do indeed agree on the practice, if not the method, of verifying TDC, but for different reasons.
If you've done this job, then you know that rotating the engine some may be necessary to work the rockers loose. So, having validated the balancer marks, it may well be expedient to just bring it around to the next TDC, at which point there's no need for concern. Get the job done, it won't hurt. If the balancer marks can't be validated, then we're not even discussing the same job, and that is a discussion for another thread.

Your argument is essentially throwing darts at a rock. They arent gonna stick, no matter how hard you try.
Lets leave it alone guys, agreed? This is absurd. Total testorone filled pissing contest.
We are advising to be careful, and take precautions. Your argument is included in ours.
Go enjoy your day.
