You ever wonder if your at "Top Dead Center" when doing valve adjustments....Well here is a simple tool you can make that screws into the spark plug hole and touches the top of the piston to give you an accurate reading to the thousandth 0.001"
Using an old spark plug I cut off the electrode tip and set the spark plug up on a hydraulic press and pressed out the ceramic element, I was suprised how easy it came out....
I used 3 rubber grommets with 3/8 I.D
.40 cents each
Next I used black silicone to glue the 3-grommets in place.
Last item, slide in the dial indicator, a little twisting action is required as it's a snug fit
Total project investment $1.35 I already had the indicator.
