    Gee, I know nobody likes these but I hoped somebody could at least tell me the base timing and max timing.

    It still has 135# compression by my Snap-On guage and fires up everytime.

    I imagine you are talking about the rear bolt that is under the little cover that pops off. Try a thin wall socket. I think it is 1/2" if I remember right.

    The lower unit looks like an old CLE. It should already have low water pickup so you can jack it up a bit.

    The Merc style puller is the only way to safely do it. You do not want to damage the end of the crankshaft and you don't want to tweak the fly wheel.

    Since it is hard to get an exact measurement, one guy may say they are 1/4" above and somebody else may measure the same boat as 1/4" below. Like usual you need to proceed with caution.
