more timing talk

That wasn't a rant. Good to hear opinions. I agree with you. I also feel that the 009 is totally wrong for a Type 4 just beacuse of the retarded number three. My stocker seemed to "wake up" with a three degree bump. I am going to fashion a piston stop from and old plug to check TDC against the mark on the fan. I'll also check voltage using an O2 sensor I installed. I'll even put it on the sniffer at the mechanic's shop. The past twenty years of wrenchin' was on Detroit iron. The common thing to do was put as much initial in as possible. The past three years with VW's has put me a new learning adventure. Thanks for your input
