[Mg-t] 54 TF engine timing

[Howard Battan]

Thanks, Bud. After looking at the location involved, I think the static 
method WILL be best. I just looked at John Twist's video, and it looks like 
that's the best method for the T-series engines. I'm just used to using the 
timing light on the MGA and the MGB.
