Setting up degree wheel

[P.M.P.]

This is something I have been wanting to do.So does anyone got a step by step procedure with pics or video to set up and use a degree wheel?Also have any tips or tricks care to share Thanks.

Randy has a good set of vids for setting up a wheel

First time i saw it done in person and did all the math to figure numbers and how much to grind, it almost blew my mind.

I am quite new with timing wheel, not much I can add, I reset the wheel (findings correct TDC) by knocking down soldiers the same way as we do to figure out squish. When they are flat there is still a tad resistance left, like 2-3 degree on the wheel. For me those soldiers has worked out better then piston stop when I set up the wheel.

I always use a stack of old piston rings when it comes to figure out where TR and EX timings is, piston BDC and move against rotation.

The last thing I can add is this thread:

I mostly use David's way to figure out the timings instead of the wheel, today I used both ways on one 242, how close was they? Inside 1/2°

I just use the intake port to find tdc. Set the wheel pointer to about 75° btdc and roll it through tdc to where the piston skirt closes the intake again. Adjust a couple degrees and recheck. About 30 seconds

How do I miss that thread! I love geeky math's like this thank you

Yup
I go off the exhaust.
Set to about 95, roll the opposite way, findthe average and make sure open and close are set to the same number.
No more than 30 seconds
