Default Re: Brattons timing calibration tool

The tool now available looks like a good idea. On some cars it is difficult to locate the timing dimple. What I do is rotate the engine until it is about to come up on #1. Then using a dental mirror and a flashlight I look to the timing dimple. I can do this by myself by standing behind the front bumper with my knee on the crank. By pushing on the crank I can see the dimple come up in the window. On my car I painted the dimple with red nail polish before I installed the timing gear.
