Very informative. Does anyone know of a Canadian source for the timing tool?
you said you were using a vw adapter what does that look like?
tool doesnt look that hard to make. i googled the tool number and found nothing. might email denco and see where they got it of where i could get one.

I also contacted Akella, the denso part number doesn't work but the proper SST part number was available in the manual.

Worth about $150 bucks.... Not including the dial gauge.
I don't care about taking off the oil filter.
Here is a question, When you undo the central bolt does fuel come spewing out?
The adapter in your link is not super useful on 1HZ and 1HD-T pumps (I actually bought it and could not use it). To make it easy you would need the real SST.
Fuel does not come spewing out of the central bolt hole, just a trickle that stops quickly.
What are my other options????
I bought the valve tool already and there is only a handful of sst that I will probably need.
I just use a dial indicator on a magnetic base,mount the base to the oil filter or other metal object on the block and run the tip of the dial indicator into the timing plug hole,some dials may need a extention to reach the pump plunger,they can be found in different lengths.Work like a hot damn,very simple and easy.
I was shown this by Raj down at Fred Holmes Fuel Injection here in Richmond...
ForealBoreal,the little adapter you bought should work really well ,here is a couple of videos that should give you a idea on how it works with VE style pump on a VW,you might need a little extension for the dial indicator,you can get different lengths or a certain indicator to get the rod length correct.

I will give it a go when I have some time! Thanks!I will give it a go when I have some time! Thanks!
Hold off on looking for a extension,I looked again at the kit you bought,the tips on most dial indicators unscrew,the little rod they give you looks like it should screw into the dial indicator,you might have to adjust its length depending on brand of indicator.
