Flywheel installation

When I removed the flywheel (129 tooth model) from my engine I did not mark it's position on the crankshaft. Will I encounter a problem when I put it back on if it is not put back in the exact spot?

It will if the timing mark is on the flywheel. Otherwise, no problem.

Ken,
The flywheels were originally balance with their respective crank shafts. So you could loose a little in the balance department. Most 129 tooth flywheels did not have any timing marks on them. Try to look closely for a pair of punch marks or scribe marks that may indicate original orientation.
