S&G Tool Aid Top Dead Center Indicators

S&G Tool Aid top dead center indicators whistle as the piston approaches Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke, and stops whistling when the piston reaches TDC. This eliminates the guesswork involved when diagnosing jumped timing belts and timing chains, as well as aids in valve adjustments and installation of distributors, timing belts and timing chains. The 2-in-1 fitting threads into all 14mm and 18mm spark plug ports, and the hose has a 27 in. overall length. Not for use on diesel engines.

BTR Valve Spring Height Micrometers

BTR valve spring height micrometers are the most accurate way to measure valve spring installed height on your Chevrolet Gen III, IV, or V engine. These micrometers feature a more desirable 0.100 in. height change per revolution—reducing the chances of reading errors associated with spring height mics that have 0.050 in. height change per revolution. A unique top with indentations for your fingers makes it much easier to tighten, as opposed to the industry standard knurling at the top. BTR valve spring height micrometers are laser-etched on a black background to make it easier to see than other currently available mics.

BTR Solid Ring Compressors

BTR solid ring compressors are significant improvements over conventional compressors. Rather than relying on the piston skirt to locate the pistons as they're being inserted into the block, Brian Tooley Racing ring compressors have a small, but very important reverse chamfer at the bottom that fits into the chamfer at the top of the block, which serves two functions. First, it locates the ring compressor exactly over the center of the hole. And, secondly, it reduces the chance of the oil ring getting caught between the ring compressor and the top of the block. Crafted from alumin and black anodized, these handsome solid ring compressors feature laser etching on a black background that is easy to read and looks good, even after lots of uses. Don't catch an oil ring between the compressor and the block; employ easy-to-use BTR solid ring compressors.

ICT Billet Engine Block Torque Plates

Torque plates are bolted to the block deck while honing to simulate the stress applied to the bores when the heads are installed. If a cylinder is bored without a plate, once the head is installed, the bore will no longer be round at the top. Almost all factories routinely do this, as well as most engine shops. But torque plates allow an engine to break in faster, use less oil, and produce a little more power due to better ring sealing. ICT Billet engine block torque plates are specific to engine families and use factory length head bolts and studs. They are made from aerospace-grade billet aluminum.
