I really got a lot out of reading the posts...
...having to do with the mechanical considerations of timing.
But I would like to take issue with one point. (I hope I am commenting on the right thread)
I never let a wire wheel within ten feet of the parts I am working on. They take metal off too quickly and seem to always leave what appears like a shot-peened finish on the surfaces. It is harder to get that damage out than to use sandpaper, a file, a fastwheel, a stone, or steel wool.
I use a wire wheel for taking paint off of cast iron. That is about it.
