fastquad02blaster Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I have used them for marking TDC on outboard flywheels. You turn the flywheel to 30btc, screw in stop, rotate f/w clockwise then mark f/w, rotate counterclockwise till stop then mark f/w, measure with something flexable between marks find exactly the middle of string to find TDC on the flywheel then adjust pointer to that mark. The ones I have are plastic from the threads down and will mushroom if you try to put any real force on them, fyi. The one I use now is a dial indicator you thread in the plug hole....makes finding tdc a lot quicker and easier. Piston stops are mainly for finding TDC on something. You don't want to use it for tightening things down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcrano Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 what?fuck that.i wouldnt ever use one and dont see how or why u would to find tdc.look at the flywheel and check piston location by slipping a long screwdriver to just rest on the piston so u can see where its at its top furthermost part.that is the most ridiculous tool ive ever seen for these.x2 on the inpact.half the time u dont even have to hold anything,just put it on at blip it loose.easy.
