Makin' Tools, nothing too special Options

[McMark]

I made a couple of tools I thought I'd share. Nothing all too interesting, but I had a good time making them.

Made a deck height tool. Aluminum plate drilled some holes with a drill press for the studs to pass through, and in the center for access. Drilled and tapped a hole to mount the dial indicator (to find true TDC). Right now I have some galvanized pipe used as spacers. These need to be replaced with something a little more stout.


This is a head stand. My friend who builds american V8 motors has something like this for his heads. The four pegs line up with the head nut seats and the threaded ends allow me to adjust the level when I'm determining combustion chamber volume.


Here is how the head looks. Very handy to have a nice solid base to work with.
