Hi,

Read the FSM as well as the 615/616 DIY in the wiki. The FSM states to rotate the engine until it appears as droplets... That sure seems inexact in terms of making sure that things are lined up exactly.

The wiki shows to line up on the harmonic balancer. I assume it is the 0T place on the balancer, right? That would make a lot more sense than something as arbitrary as droplets forming.

So how do I best determine how everything is correctly aligned, and also that the stretch in the TC is correctly aligned.

Also what is the best source for the drip tube???

Want to perform timing on my 240 and 300.
