Creating a new piston stop from scratch with a lathe, Tap and Die set.
Creating a new piston stop from scratch with a lathe, Tap, Die, and Welder.
Material required: Bar Stock; Nuts; 3/8ths threaded rod.
Some Degree sets come with piston stops for when your heads are on and most I find to be cheap and inadequate for Degreeing of the camshaft. Well, at least the one I had.
For one mine kept moving which led me to question accuracy. two the adjustable stopper bent very easily when piston made contact.
So, I made my own using an antique Logan Lathe
9/16ths x 20 threads per inch. die required

Making a Piston Fly Cut tool for the 5.0 Mustang
So my factory bottom end doesn't have the clearance needed for the AFR Heads I have. What does a person do? Well, I'll tell you. I'm making my own Piston fly-cut tool from some old Junk heads I had lying around.
on the intake side, I only had .019 clearance and I need a minimum of .080.
