I have seen mentioned that when timing the engine look through the bell housing and line up the needle with the BB. I have seen the BB referred to as a ball bearing. So my question is, how big is this? A ball bearing or a bee bee ?

Purney,

It is about the size of an old fashioned BB. There may be other marks on either side of it. When you find it, give it a blast with some brake-clean or something and maybe paint it yellow with a small metal-marker. If you are going to use a timing light, both the BB and the tip of the sharp little pointer show up much better when cleaned and painted.
