I ended up buying the one in the link I posted above. Paid about $70 when I got it about 6 months ago, thought it was  pretty decent unit. Done what I needed which was to setup base timing

now my main reason of posting all these pictures it to try and work out where its leaking from, i had thought it was a inlet or head gasket before i cleaned  it up, but after letting it run the only fresh oil leaks i can see the sump and more towards the back of the motor, so im now leaning towards sump gasket or rear main seal.
