hey hillbillies
I'm the proud owner of a new used dial indicator
it's a cute little thing, and I like pushing the little probe in and 
out and watching the hand spin around, but when I get under the engine 
and try to stick it in the injection pump to read time, I run into 
immovable objects
like the injection pump lines
this is just a raw DI w/ no attachments
has anyone fabricated a sleeve w/ a little extension rod that will 
thread into the IP port and allow a generic dial indicator to function 
as a poor man's VW tool # whatever and read pump lift accurately (?)
thanks anyone
