Get 2&1/2 feet of 3/8" white nylon rope at your Ace hardware store for pennies. When done store it in a grocery plastic bag to keep it clean for the next time. As said either works fine & if you have shop air it's a bit faster & watching the rotor when turning the crank will let you find TDC the fastest. EDIT You can use your compression tester hose/14mm fitting to screw in the plug hole/connect to shop air just take the shrader valve (tire valve stem valve) out of it first Last edited by RapidRobert; 03/16/13 01:14 PM.

Broke it in on some old crower 80# seat #250 Open springs.I just ran the piston in question up to t.d.c.,pulled the "soft" spring and installed the e-head springs.The seal held the valve on the seat while I installed the new spring and ret/keepers.No rope,no air,no drama.
