I to am old enough to remember the time that Tippex was commonly used and accepted as the way to do the job(Hell, I had two bottles myself, just in case the first one ran out), however we will hopefully both agree that this was a time when both the crank and the cam were keyed and the smallest amount that you could be "out" was by one whole tooth.
We both also know that we work in an era today where both the crank and the cams can be "floating" on the shaft and therefore it is important on these vehicles that we use the correct tools. And since we may not know what type of system we are dealing with until it is too late, it must make sense to always use the correct tooling.
On top of all that,One of the major control strategies within the modern engine management system is that of emission control and exact valve timing plays a big part in achieving this.
All the best.
