I'm looking at the Central Tools 6491 timing gauge set as sold by Economy; is it the diameter of the dial itself that allows it to be used on an RD engine that is in the frame?
Seem's like this plus a small faced dial indicator would do it.

DesmoDrew helped me out; got one on the way :thumbs:
My favorite timing gauge (once if got that right).
I bought one from a local machine shop supply MANY years ago w/ a "gun style" sound proof style foam case for about 149 dollars in Santa Clara, CA. Absolutely love it. Mine has (2) different sized pins. One for small engines like the 125 and the larger one for the 350/400s.
I think I gave Mark one that i thought i FUBARED.....Do you still have that Mark? I figure a former journeyman clock Luthier? would fix something like that easily.
horologist. (luthier makes guitars and such) And yes, i still have it and yeah, you bent the shit out of a gear tooth. it happens... But its fixed and i use it pretty regular. Its actually in the 'timing w a dial gauge' video on youtube. I love that thing.
