I purchased the following tool and don't quite get how it is to be used:
 Before you flame me, I did a search, and I completely read through the following post: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...ywheel++endplay But for some reason, I still don't get it (obviously, I'm riding the short-bus today... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) Can anybody explain the theory behind the proper use of this tool????? My thanks in advance. Eric Read |

You can just push and pull the flywheel with your hands, but if it's out of the car it's way easier.
Some guys will tell you it's crap and get a DI but my $10k (replacement value) Gene Berg engine in my '67 bus was built in 1991 and when I put it in (it's 3rd car) 3 years ago it was still in the same spec using a DI. And by the way my DI is worth 6X the amount of a cheap HF Dial indicator. |
