The Long Piston Stop is a necessity for
performing leak-down tests and valve seal replacements on HEMIspherical
engine designs.
Prevents shop air from rotating crank shaft when removing valve
stem shields.
Once installed, it holds the crank shaft in place so shop air can
be applied to a piston that is at top dead center.
Up to 100 lbs per square inch of shop-compressed air can be applied
to a cylinder at the top of it's stroke with valves closed. (This
pressure holds the valves in place, allowing the valve stem seals
to be replaced without taking the engine apart.)
