Works pretty well. I just eyeball it. If you stand above the engine and look straight down past that boss, then move your head from side to side until the face of the flat JUST disappears, it is easy to sight straight down to the marks. Russ: When you did this for a living, did you usually just eyeball it? Did you EVER use the special factory tool? I've never seen this tool, only pictures, but I've always thought about making one from a spring-loaded clothespin. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
