Valve Timing

[RocketScientist]

I apologize up front if this has already been answered but have had no luck with a search. Looks like some special tools are required to set valve timing after the crank has been removed. The factory SM is a POS. The sprockets are not keyed and must be locked in place (tapered shaft I assume). There are numbers for the special service tool in the SM, are these available from Mazda and are they $$? Want to get all my stuff together before I pull the motor.

check on su marks build on m****s****f*****.org pretty sure he mention who he got his timing tool from way before mazda got around to sending him one.
