I recently had my 292 Y Block rebuilt at a reputable machine shop here in town.  I am trying to learn as a go to get my 54 F100 up and running and don't know much mechanically.  I manually turned the engine to find TDC on the #1 piston and compression stroke.  The TDC mark on the dampner is not even close to the pointer.  Was this put together incorrectly or am I missing something?  I'm estimating that it is maybe 60° off.

Thanks for the help!
