I had to remove the timing device on an engine I had just rebuilt because if forgot to replace the main oil gallery end plug
, plug was in back of the T/D
The "pin" was easy, getting the T/D out with the chain around it, another matter, I stuck a bunch of screw drivers and other "pointy' tools in there to hold the chain away, not fun
