I assume this small negative value is what I need to compare with the graph but don't know how to make it more permanent. Do I need to let the program run for longer and get an average value at the end or something? Thanks Darrell

Sounds as though it's advanced if it's showing 21° but surprised you're getting it to run. Does it start immediately?


First thing I'd do is clarify whether it's retarded or advanced. If you set up TDC, by viewing the flywheel marker through the gearbox bellhousing, where is your diesel pump pulley marker positioned? Above the engine marker will be in a retarded position, below the engine marker will be advanced.
