I've degreed with the small cheap wheels and they work, but I much prefer the larger diameter aluminum wheels; much easier to read and more accurate in my opinion; the larger the diameter the more accurate the markings will be.
Thanks Jody. So basically I should always keep turning the engine over clock wise? Then once I have the lifter's max lift point, zero the dial and keep turning the engine over clockwise until I get 50 degrees on either side of the max lift? Does that make sense?
