Mounting a degree wheel

pishta said

You dont mount a degree wheel, you just put one on to degree it as you have to move it anyway once you find TDC. Are you looking for a permanent solution? Drill and tap a crank bolt for a stud and just bolt it on when you need it. Leave it snug enough to move it if you have to. Youll have to use a 1 1/4 open end wrench to turn your crank though after its chucked up.

Not sure how else I should have phrased it, I need to install a degree wheel so that I can find TDC, degree a cam/check valve phasing.

Nothing permanent, I will get a picture so it is more easily understood.

Here is a discussion over on slant org that addresses the issues I am having. http://slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=301297&highlight=dampener+bolt

I am hoping there is an easier alternative to getting the wheel in place so I can do what I need to do.

If you look at the last post you will see the grocery list of stuff the guy had to buy to get his degree wheel mounted in place.
