Default RE: Piston Stop Using A Spark Plug

Hi,

I have seen piston stops for sale, but I can't remember where. I just gutted a spark plug, and used JB Weld to install a piece of aluminum tubing for the stop. You could use a dowel, but the tubing allows the air to escape and lets the engine turn over easily when doing timing chores.

I like the wood dowel better. Sand it round on end... not to damage piston. Drill a small dia hole through it to prevent compression. Easy made. Capt,n
