I have a friend who was having trouble finding the dimple on the timing gear with the probe. He had a Harbor Freight cheap borescope or whatever they are called. Put the probe end in the timing hole and watched the screen till he had the dimple perfectly centered. I have never had a problem finding the dimple but have to admit this made it extremely easy. Plus that bore scope is very handy for a number of other inspections. Just something to think about.
