When the motor is on a stand with no flywheel and bellhousing, it can be difficult to determine when the engine is at TDC, etc. -- so I came up with a new method that may help other. ;)

Awesome. Also, I am super jealous of your media blasting cabinet.

Happy 4th all!

The cabinets are cheap (and sometimes free on craigslist). Modifying these cheap ones to work well is a hobby all by itself though, and the real key is having a compressor that can keep up.

Happy 4th to you too, and to all 4th-of-July-Celebrating Carpokeans!
