> measuring less than 20mV with a standard DMM is pretty silly. My Flukes resolve down to 0.1mV on their lowest scale. Still kind of coarse, but possibly workable. Amplifiers are easy to flange up, of course.
> There is also an RIV method that times the engine with it running! I think that's just a VR sensor screwed into the hole in the IP. And some electronics, of course. Hall effect requires a magnet to swing by, which the prong on the IP's shaft is not. VR is not so picky, but requires the thing to be moving at a good clip. The AB box is just feelers, I think. Never seen one up close. > Cheapest and easiest way to set the timing is to set the engine to 15 > ATDC on #1 compression stroke, then adjust the position of the > IP so that the locking tool properly engages the prong on the IP > crankshaft. You will be at least as close as the drip method. That's what I did do. Obviously something went wrong, probably it jumped a tooth when I wasn't looking. Maybe more than one. > However, did you remove the pressure valves on the IP? Nope. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
