When I saw an email from Larry I thought we were going to get a whole other definition of what a Timing Pointer is in Cleveland, alas nothing so frivalous.
 
A mark on the flywheel might not work as it is much bigger so goes around slower in comapriosn to the dampener....... ;)

   When I saw an email from Larry I thought we were going to get a whole
   other definition of what a Timing Pointer is in Cleveland, alas nothing
   so frivalous.
