    Smoke diagnostic tool

    You can buy cans of aerosol smoke - used in the security and fire industry. No need to MacGuyver something up using a pressure cooker, a cake-mixer and a paper clip these days.

    Use a table ban saw to hack off the 340 piston crown .

    That depends how well you clean up the swarf after cutting the size of the pistons down.

    ....or just lay the pistons in between palings on the pallet, and free-hand cut them with a circular saw. Make sure to use the correct blade.
