It seems stiff enough not to rotate while handling. This tool doesn't guarantee its in the correct position, but only freezes it in the position its at when inserted?
This is why I want to make an amateur guide. I need locate the crank shaft dampner(not the fly wheel?) And what tool will measure 15° accurately enough?
Are kidney slots another term for the holes that recieve the slide bolts?
Thanks. I'll delve into your thread here next.

Not exactly True. When you line the Crank Degrees up properly on the right stroke nothing in there is going to move. The only thing that has the possiblity of moving is the Fuel Injection Pump Camshaft.
The Fuel Injection Pump can be stuck back into the hole anywhere whit in the Kidney Slots and stll be in time if the Camshaft does not rotate. But, if it is not in the middle you don't have room to fine turn the Fuel Injection Pump and you might have to bend your Fuel Injection Hard Lines to get them back on.
Kidney slots are circled in Green on the pic.
If you are not using the Timing Locking Pin the timing is 24 Degrees before top dead center on the Compression Stroke. The timing specs are on the Emission Sticker.
You don't need any Tool. The Degree Marks are on the Crankshaft Damper at the front bottom of the Engine and the Pointer for that is viewed from the left side looking down between the Belts.
Kidney slots are in the green circles. Your replacement Pump will have the corrrect timing marks on it.
