*You can also measure the length between the timing tab marks and transfer them onto tape, i.e. if there's 3/4 of an inch (0.750") representing 10º on the tab, two marks 3/4 of an inch (0.750") apart on your tape will also be 10º. This will work- provided that the timing tab is correct for the application and not for a different diameter damper. | *You can also measure the length between the timing tab marks and transfer them onto tape, i.e. if there's 3/4 of an inch (0.750") representing 10º on the tab, two marks 3/4 of an inch (0.750") apart on your tape will also be 10º.

| + | It's a good idea to mark the tape at 90 degree increments starting from TDC. These 90 degree lines can be used when adjusting valves, for example. | ||
