Re: IGNITION TIMING. HOW TO WITH STROBE LIGHT.

Hi, no answer yet, so I try to answer. TDC or 3/4 market is for the adjustment of the timing chain/camshafts towards crankshaft.

Right, you need these inner spanners with the "plates" and then to Place them as much up and down as possible - then it works very well.
