Stephen, you are correct sir. When I do mine I just jack up the passenger
side -- I have my mark painted white and I have the claw like timing gauge
cleaned and marked. A good thing to use is a pen that puts out whiteout --
I got mine at a drug store -- it is sort of big (for a pen) and you squeeze
it to get it out. Kim
