Hey all,
I was just looking to set up my base timing .... or at least verify its where it should be, what I am wondering is pretty straight forward, but I would just like to be sure.
Instead of using timing marks on the lower timing belt cover, could you not find the 5 degrees BTDC mark using a digital light with an offset function?
It just seems awkward pointing the light down the side of the wheel well there, and I feel like different angles will result in different settings based on the angle you are viewing from. I'm looking to be as accurate as possible....
Would marking the cam gears and setting the offset on the light yield the same result? If not...why?
