Setting timing to the exact degree.

I was wondering, if you wanted to advance the timing by say 4 degrees. How would you know how mucyh that is on the pulley?

My timing is advance to where my engine runs pretty much at its best but I have no idea exactly to what degree it is.

I was thinking of maybe using a protractor to mark the degrees on the pulley or can I not use that method?

For some reason I feel this is a very stupid question since I never see anyone else ask it.

The pully is 360MM around. Quite convenient, actually...
