for those of us who enjoy building our own engines, this tool is meant to help aid in setting the correct clearance between the side seal and the corner seal.
Things you'll still need:
1) drill press with locking table
2) drill press clamp. Harbor Freight has these for super cheap. Might be able to get away with a C-clamp as well.
3) thickness gauges
4) dremel type grinding wheel. Ideally it would be .433" (11mm) in diameter, but i have yet to find one exactly that size.
directions for use:
1) use a drill bit or preferably a pointed grinding stone in the spindle, and push it into the round hole so it bottoms out on the fixture. This will center the fixture on the drill press spindle.
2) while keeping pressure down on the fixture with the bit/wheel, lock the table on the drill press, and clamp the fixture down on the button. The button is a reinforced part of the print, and will automatically print out this way, so no need to be gentle. You don't want it to move AT ALL.
