Re: putting a timing mark on a 39 120

Here is what I did on my 115C. I made a heavy wire pointer, painted it white, and secured it under one of the timing chain cover bolts on the driver side. Then carefully rolled the engine to where the timing marks on the flywheel indicated TDC. I carefully marked the damper with a thin stripe of white paint to line up the mark with the pointer. Next I did the same for +- 5 deg. and +- 10 deg. Now, when I want to set or check the timing I just point a timing light and the marks are easily seen. Much easier than trying to view the marks on the flywheel.
