You set the timing at 15 degrees ATDC. Then you remove the bolt from the side of the IP and insert the tool. You move the pump back and forth until it locks in. Then you bolt down the IP in place. Perfect timing every time!

Hi bud,

I have just bought one of these but noticed a previous poster mentioned it didn't allow for chain stretch?



Wouldn't the wear be taken up as you moved the pump?

Thanks,
