@troykanevtwinstov8s: Think your timing mark is true TDC? Here’s how to actually verify it. I’m using a piston stop on the 383 to find exact top dead center on the #1 cylinder. Two marks on the balancer. Find the exact center. That’s true TDC. Now I have an accurate baseline for ignition timing. #EngineBuilding #SmallBlockChevy #TDC #EngineTiming #383Stroker #ChevyC10

J.E.DOUBLE.S.E :

4 stroke engine? isn't there 2 "compressions " 1 for exhaust and 1 actual compression stroke when the spark plug goes off.....am I wrong?

Randy Sharp :

Just use a degree wheel, same effect no measurements a lot more accurate

barryvarga2 :

What about a dial indicator?

holdingupmygroin :

how long is that sticker going to last?

Top1% :

How do you know what adjustment to the piston stopper for the piston to stop correctly?

jaffleiron :

Might be a good idea to tell people not to rotate backwards on an engine with a timing belt. Rotating backwards can compress the belt tentioner and cause the belt to become slack in one span. This could cause the belt to jump a tooth or two on the cam shift.

Ebo :

I can't find a 19mm piston stop, only 14 and 10mm :(

Kawika :

When I was a kid my dad would have me wrap a rag around my finger and stick it in the cylinder and yell when it got blown out 😂

Brian :

you can't do that on a DOHC engine without risking damage cause of the chains can bunch up and other bad things you should warn people that you can't do this on all engines.

Deon :

It's just blowing smoke

👑 Kingmidas 👑 :

Nice

Poppy :

Good job sir.

AllureSuper :

It does not get more accurate then that.

Dave :

Dial indicator is quicker and more accurate

Allyn :

Nice tip

Jj68 :

Use a dial gauge… can never be wrong… and far more accurate

Jake yep that's me #1 :

bad way if its in to far stops early and dome hits too

roadagent :

thanks

Amaia :

What is the piston stop??

markdoherty1 :

👍

Rubyroo1956 :

👍👏

Rudi :

Men moet de kleppen deksels verwijderen. Wanneer de kleppen van de eerste cilinder dicht zijn en de kleppen in dit geval van cilinder 6 op tuimelen staan heeft men het TDC

The only thing you need to do is take the motor out 👍
