DETAIL

A small number of reports have been received which indicate that ignition timing has been set incorrectly at the point of manufacture from the above VIN numbers.

To ensure that any confusion is alleviated the correct way to view the the timing marks is from the left side of the engine looking beneath the power steering pump towards the torsional vibration damper, along the line shown by the arrows in the illustration.
