Trigger Wheel question

Trigger Wheel question
Hello, so I’m running the 13b rew front cover on my 20b, utilizing the 13b pulley, and the 13b trigger wheel essentially as a spacer. Doing a first start up tomorrow, my tuner wants a mark placed 180 degrees from the timing mark, so I guess my question is, which one is considered the “timing mark”? There seems to be two notches, one slight notch and one deeper notch, but I guess idk which one is considered the “timing mark”. Also with a 20b, since I’m using a FD front cover and trigger wheel, are the timing marks even relevant? Thanks for any help!

The REW timing marks are 5 and 20 ATDC. As long as the pulley hub and wheel are from the same engine, the marks will be accurate. But, I’m guessing, you’re using the 20B hub so all bets are off.
My other concern is that your tuner wants a 180 mark on a 20B. That mark is irrelevant on a 3 rotor.

a 2 rotor has the two rotors 180 degrees from each other
the 3 rotor is 120
so you need to verify that when the engine is on TDC #1 rotor, that the mark lines up (or -5 and -20), and then you can make marks 120 degrees apart for the other two.

They only have 20ATDC

Thank you guys for all of the information! Very helpful. My builder ended up showing me a video to find TDC on 20b. (Non-13g crank using fd trigger wheel and front cover) but he said starting at the finger that sticks out count 4 spaces clockwise, then go 180 degrees from the inside of the 4th space. We dld it with a degree meter and visual inspection of the leading plug rotor 1 and it seemed pretty spot on!
