YES INDEED - Lush "street cams" fit with real life

[Joesmoe]

In my case, I purchased three brass rods, and set them on top of the pistons through a spark plug hole -- and used that to verify I was close to TDC and the correct dot.

That is one way of doing it. If your smart. I am not smart. Do know if you got it right tool should be laying flat and inserted into holes after turning engine over a few times. We did not make it there today. Will see what happens next weekend.

@1olbull Your experience may vary.

I learned long ago, when dealing with a high-level practitioner of an art, and you would like a product, the best outcome is how that practitioner does it.

Not being from California, I drooled as a young man in Alabama over print copy with glossy photos of the many gorgeous vehicles there, and I wanted one.

I purchased a 1969 Pontiac Firebird, and asked a collector in the office what kind of paint is best. He discussed my project with me, and then paused and said, "You find someone who does work you like, and the paint they use is the best."

Paul,
I like your story, but in what way is it analogous to my posted compliment and subsequent negative response from a cranky man bothered by the use upper case letters?

He may be Cranky but knows more about are bikes than you or i will ever understand. After dealing with the Man in the Tin Shed come to realize he is rather direct and and has my respect. Plan on doing business with him again in the near future. His dedication to customer service even after the purchase is amazing.

Well now, you have confused me.
I like to use upper case to start sentences, for "I" and frequently for emphasis.
You have done this well and also increased the font size and emboldened, so I can read easier.
I use bold because it is slightly larger and easier to read.
Are you suggesting bold is also considered yelling?
Extremely confusing are these new fangled, high-tech, social media mores, especially those that have to do with sound where there IS NONE!
Gratitude for your input - tis always fun to split the hairs!
