Hmmmm. Could this be a V6 or V8 in which one might make a mistake about
which of the front two cylinders is number one? Or is there a rubber
layer in the vibration damper that may have slipped? I don't know if it
would run at all 90 degrees BTDC, but I doubt it would run well enough
for you to sell it to someone.
