When changing valve springs, what is the easiest way to determine if the piston is at the top?
I've sean the:
1. close line rope in the cylinder trick and
2. the compressed air in the spark plug hole trick too.
I assume it is easiest to change springs when you know the piston is at the top and tht it will prevent the valves from dropping down into the holes when you remove the spring keepers.
On the older Gen 2 small blocks and earlier you could tell by looking at the crankshaft pulley but since reluctors and PCMs have been adeveloped crankshaft pulleys are now pressed on and do not have degree markings...

Tim,
Is there anyway you can charge me and send off say 8 or 10 of the bolts? I cant find anything to replace mine on this island and would like to make my swaps quicker yet maintain my tool of choice. Please let me know. Everything has been sweet through 12 or more spring swaps but I would appreciate being able to just pay for some extra bolts.
