A 2x4, please do tell......if your using these types of tools that is probably why you have that nasty gap on your head


getting the cam in the right position is not an issue since there is a tiny hole in the cam to line up against a cast mark and if the chain was on it would have been no problem at all.
I might research what I need and how much the cost is for the dial indicator setup that I need to do it properly, I can probably finf a bunch of other fun things to use the dial indicator for.

As far as a wrench or something slipping out of my hands and hitting my brother in law.... I will just say that I have a lot of experience with things slipping (or odd things happening) and hitting me that ends up with me in the emergency room, I have not managed to focus this amazing power on hitting other people though...... So that plan has a 99.44% chance of backfiring and harming me. The last time something odd happened I ended up at one of the best Ophthalmic Surgeons in Houston.

I would like to hear about this finding TDC with a piece of paper.

I could call my Dad in NY since he use to own a shop and is a great mechanic but he will give me a speech on how I should have taken extra precautions so that this could not have happened, I'll tell him it's not my fault and then he will say "yes it is because I did not take the extra precautions and take an extra 10 seconds to make an extra mark"
