if the strap slips use my method with oil ,but the cylinder needs to be on.
Couldn't the connecting rod be bent using this method?

Yeah, I don't want to take that risk. I have a bent gear I'll drill some holes in and mount that on the prop hub
Advance Auto Parts didn't have a dial indicator unfortunately. They did have some gasket material so I can cut a new cylinder gasket that I just ripped into pieces.

And I think the clicking sound is coming from the piston hitting the cylinder head. I have a little spot on the piston w/o carbon.
