I've never done it before, but I'll try and get it right. I wanted to figure out a way to make some kind of stand so I can get to the back of the engine. I've seen guys do it in the car and hanging from an engine hoist.
I made a little cart based off an engine dolly. There's 2 flats on the rear of the block where it could rest on the stand.
What kind of dial indicator do y'all recommend?
There's the Dial Test type (lever arm on the side) which read a little more accurately.
Starrett 3809A DIAL TEST INDICATOR- 0-15-0- 1-1/4" DIAM.
Or standard type.
Mitutoyo Dial Indicator, 0 to 0.500 In, 0-100 2414S | Zoro.com
there's also different readings 0-15-0 or continuous.
