Evangelos,
Long time no hear! Hope all is well. You could time the car by the
method of advancing the timing a little until you get knocking or
pinking when accelerating uphill. The marks are only good for factory
fresh cars, anyway. There are several posts in the archives about
this.

Good luck,
Jeff
