...I think I just found where my lack of knowledge lays, I just kindly received a snippet of the appropriate page in a manual (I must get one of these manuals... A BIG MUST!!!)
the book says take it to "AIDC 10deg" well i'm assuming that's 10 deg after TDC0, I take the flywheel to 10 and sure enough I get my 1mm easy on the dial, my bad for "assuming" measurements to be taken at TDC (which turns out to be 0.55 on this).

So i'm now set to 1mm exactly inline with 10 deg after TDC and the alignment of the pump securing bolts now looks to be correct in comparison to where it was on the old block. many thanks to said snippet provider =D>


Nae bother
