If you have the Muir book - "How to keep your VW alive - the guide
for the complete idiot"  there is a step-by-step guide to STATIC
timing the engine.  That is, setting the timing with the engine off!
Very easy, I'm not a mechanic and I do it all the time.   If you need it,
I can scan a few pages and send them to you - let me know.
