... excellent suggestion! With all the Audis sitting around that have
timing that cannot be adjusted, this gives me something I can do with my
timing light!
Funny, it seems I'm always having to scratch my head a little when checking
the mark ... which surface is it supposed to align to??? This gives
something that you can easily check without having to take anything apart!
Thanks!
