sigh,
it was suggested to me from two different sources to use a stick (wooden dowel, pencil, chopsticks...etc) to put into the sparkplug hole to try to find TDC. Needless to say, when ever i work on my car, things gets... complex. so i got this chopstick in the sparkplug hole... turn the wheel and the chopstick started to go down.. down..good, this is going well, so i thought. then i kept turning the wheel, chopstick start to move up. IM EXCITED!! this is gonna work!!! yes!! then, snap, my chopstick broke in half. half was hanging out the sparkplug hole, the other half fell in! is my only alternative = pulling the heads? or can i somehow "fish" out the broken chopstick? argggg help this is a brand new rebuilt, less than 500 miles |

Both the light and the clip would reach deep through the plug hole to the piston Both would fit at the same time. I can let you borrow these or at least the clips as you can get the light at Sears.....OT.. these two tools together look deadly or at least painful!
