I've found the easiest way to time evos is without the timing plug. The plugs allow too much oil to get on the face of it, making seeing the timing mark a task.....especially if your oil is not new and clean.
If your mark (the dot) isn't well defined, I would suggest bringing it into the viewing port, taking a Q-Tip with some nail polish remover on it and cleaning any oil off of the dot. I then use a bright colored finger nail polish to "paint" the dot. The brush tip is just long enough to reach in there. I use yellow or white. Allow it to dry about 20 minutes and voila. (PS...Don't tell the wife:s)
Then I simply put a clear sandwich bag over my timing light to avoid the oil mist.
Here's another link that has some info on setting the timing...
