7" Degree Wheel at Front Damper

RustyRatRod said

I like it but I have a question. How is it indexed to the crank? In other words, how it it held in the proper position? The bolt holes will allow at least a few degrees of slop, so how are you keeping the wheel in check with true TDC for the proper reference?

Bolts hold it tight in place and you line up the TDC reference mark and lock it down so you can wrench on the crank bolt for turning the engine over without the degree wheel moving on the mount.

I like the crank keyway reference notch that you can see when it is mounted up. That helps too.

The idea here is for shop use, or when someone comes in with a car and wants to know if their cam is timed properly. Not for permanent installation, it's a bolt on test tool.

Then you install the 7" degree wheel to take the valve timing events, record them, remove the degree wheel, and the car owner drives his car home to make decisions of what he wants to do next. Now that he has a better understanding of what his engine is all about.

Or if you buy a car not knowing what the cam is.

Also today we came up with the glue on numbers for the 318 and counter weighted 360 dampeners. Can be clear coated to seal them.







@dartfreak75 and I have been brainstorming about these today, he has been coming up with some good ideas.

He would like something for his 360 too.
