they make these for BOTH SBC AND BBC , and IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT DAMPER SIZES ,SO BE SURE YOU ORDER THE CORRECT ONE FOR YOUR APPLICATION

I want an accurate measure on TDC; the process looks pretty simple except for the feel when the piston hits the stop when using this tool. How hard is it to feel the top while turning the crank (plugs out) without damaging anything?

Brad

while your verifying tdc, if your turning the engines crank with a breaker bar on the front crank/damper bolt its done, with the engine out of gear, slowly and carefully turning the assembly and its rather obvious when its stopped solidly, against the piston stop, you then mark the line on the damper, reverse, rotation and use the second mark when it stops as a second marker,the true TDC is 1/2 way between the marks, obviously having a degree wheel installed, and a stiff wire as a pointer on the rim of the degree wheel, makes this far easier
