When finding TDC, I do understand marking on up and down and finding the midpoint, makes total sense. But how do you put the dial indicator on the piston top? (yes, I know it's in the FSM, but until I get my hands on one...)
Finally, where is the best place to get a FSM? I would like certainly like to invest in one.
