Major timing pin problems

I think even though the new timing pin housing I bought comes with two new torx screws. I'm going to go to the hardware store and see if I can match up a hex head bolt for the housing instead. The back bolt near the block is just to hard to get to, and too easy to strip with the very little room you have to work.
J_martin, the visual method seems like a good idea, but how the heck are you able to see in that hole??

A torx head screw can be set on the end of the wrench and manipulated into a tight place much easier than a hex head screw. Allen head is a close second.

Visual method, timing pin method, all good, but dependent on another soul. Unless you like taking 3 hours to adjust valves. Companion is in and out in less than an hour, with out troubling anyone. Oh well, for building Swiss watches I would agree the use of the pin is the most accurate

There is no indication by the OP as to why he was using the timing pin, but it is normally used for IP timing.
