I'm a little stuck on why the ARP gauge would be better too; AFAIK, both it and the Summit gauge for example use unbranded dial indicators. Obviously, neither are making their own measurement tools so you're trusting accuracy from a 2nd or 3rd party as represented by whoever you buy it from.
It's different than what you see in other precision industries. For example, I work with lasers/optics and even our branded tools have part numbers from the OEM so you might get something from say Newport which is dual branded Mitutoyo/Newport and has a Mitutoyo part number and cert. |

Makes sense. Obviously, the only person I need to satisfy is myself, so when my Sears valve spring compressor started bending when installing race springs, I had to reinforce it. Then the next part started bending, and on it went. My welding is rudimentary, but it works (a grinder helps).
I can see if I were a shop, customers would flee seeing this.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1506536088.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1506536088.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1506536088.JPG For cam timing, I have two digital indicators. One is Centech (Harbor Freight). The other is Fowler (maybe from Enco?). I got to distrusting my readings, so I swapped the indicators side to side. Lo and behold, they both read the same per side, so at least, despite not being professional grade (the Fowler sever years ago cost about $75 I think), they were off, if within their three decimal places (two for metric)they were the same. What I'd like to find is something in this price range which had a port with CSV output so I could use that to populate a spread sheet and really check things easily. Anyone know of such a product? |
