Where is 6° Timing?

I know this seems like a STUPID question but I can not read the numbers (if there are indeed any) on the timing indicator mark from the block. Basically the timing marks are non-descript, although there are notches on it and one is larger than the others. It would only makes sence that the large notch is where I am aiming for. Is that correct?

I cannot remember EXACTLY what it looks like, but this is more or less whay my timing marks look like: is that 6°?

That's 0* (TDC) where your arrow is.

4* is the first "point" above it. 8* is two "points" above it, etc.

6*, therefore, is the valley between the 4 and 8 degree "points."
