What Do You Guys Think About This Tool???
im thinking about getting one just cause i have a fluidampr now and it doesnt have a really good 12 o'clock except the one i put on there so i was thinking about getting this tool just cause it looks useful but my concern is when you rotate the piston and the piston hits this tool wouldnt it damage the piston

The first time around, find top dead center without using the tool. Insert it, bring the bolt to a firm stop, mark the bolt to where it should be and that is TDC from now on.
P.S. You'd have to rotate the motor pretty hard to damage a piston using that tool. (Don't turn the motor over with the starter.)
