"A jumbled up bunch of hooha" and "AFU" ain't saying it is wrong? you sure coulda fooled me! yes you would need a degree wheel to degree the cam & be careful that it dont move as you are turning the crank & other caveats but just to find true TDC to confirm the dampener ain't slipped I don't see a problem with the simplicity of this & it don't see more difficult than using the wheel. I'm still trying to figure out which one of you is the one who gave me the uncalled for scathing rebuke way back for no reason when I first got on here (I gotta get my printer going). a fellow member saw it & emailed & said that you were a former naval chief or something similar & that "they are like that". I thought yeah right but I thanked him for the backup/support. Robert
