How do I make sure that the timing needle is accurate? Im guessing since the head will be off I can check that also.

Use a dial indicator to find TDC on the compression stroke and there you have it, make sure the needle points at 0

Bring #1 to TDC on the compression stroke, mark you balancer with a paint pen....then see if the pointer is dead on the mark you made on your balancer.

Or make sure it points to "0" on your balancer
