[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 16307, member: 456"] One of our French friends came up with a neat gadget to do this. It consists of a CD or DVD disk, suitably engraved with degree markings and fitting on to a special replacement for the big end quill. It is arranged in such a way that the engine can be run, the disk spins and can be strobed and yet oil still is being fed to the big end. Very ingenious and only the relative fragility of the light weight disk make it less than perfect. The wasted spark will be so far away from the correct timing that there will be no reading as the disk in only engraved with degree markers near to the TDC and up to about 40 degrees before TDC. I think that Clevtrev either has them or can put you in touch with the French provider and designer. [/QUOTE]
