Workarounds Described

• uses camera/angle perspective to guess alignment
• visually lines up marks with difficulty

Implied Software Gaps

• App that uses camera with AR overlay to precisely verify timing mark alignment against vehicle-specific specifications

TimingAlign Pro

A mobile app that uses the phone's camera with augmented reality overlays to help technicians precisely align timing marks on crank pulleys and camshafts, even in tight engine bays. It compares the captured image to a vehicle-specific reference and gives a green/red alignment indicator, eliminating guesswork.
