Oddball tool
If anyone has a need to check leakdown of a shortblock (without heads) you're welcome to borrow this plate I made up to fit over any cylinder of a traditional Pontiac engine. For instance, if you found excess leakdown on an engine and after pulling a head, want to know positively how much of the leakage is due to the cylinders.
After assembling the shortblock for my lakester I was concerned about possible ring damage while installing pistons (sleeves should have more chamfer at the top). If there had been an issue (there wasn't, all are 96-98%)) it would have been much easier to correct now, before assembling the whole top end. That's the only reason I made this plate, so I don't expect to use it often.

That is actually more like a "Cool Tool"
Not something that would get used a lot, but would definitely be valuable from time to time. Honestly when I read the title of the thread, I thought you were going to rant about another forum member! LOL  God Bless Bill https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...closed.614419/

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
