I can find no easy way to turn the engine in small increments as needed to adjust valves, static spark timing, etc. Spark plugs removed to relieve compression of course. It seems to make sense to cut a small ( 3/8 x 1/2") slot in the bell housing to allow for a screwdriver to engage with the ring gear for small adjustments.

Have a fallen off my rocker?

thanks
