Precision Dial Indicator Gauge for TDC Timing and Measurement

Brief Overview

This dial indicator is an essential precision measurement tool for engine timing work, particularly for locating Top Dead Center (TDC) during valve timing procedures and other critical automotive diagnostics. The gauge delivers repeatable accuracy with 0.01mm resolution across its 0-8mm measurement range, making it indispensable for mechanics working on timing adjustments, bore measurements, and component runout checks. For shops managing multi-vehicle workloads, pairing this gauge with complementary diagnostic equipment like an angular torque measurement tool ensures comprehensive engine service capabilities.

Key Features

• 0-8mm measurement range with 0.01mm resolution for precise positioning
• Dial face graduation: 0–100 scale with fine tick marks and main pointer for clear reading
• Revolution counter (subsidiary dial) for tracking full-scale traversals
• Hardened steel probe with rounded, polished tip designed for engine block surfaces and component checks
• Adjustable bezel with knurled rim for easy zeroing and dial locking
• Side-mounted adjustment knobs for fine zeroing and holding the reading
• Protective blue plastic carrying case with molded foam insert ensuring safe transport and storage
• Instruction label included in case for setup and operation reference

Technical Advantages for Resellers

Dial indicators remain a core tool in any professional automotive shop. This gauge covers the narrow but critical tolerance band needed for TDC work—the most common timing application—while the fine 0.01mm graduations eliminate guesswork. The compact 0-8mm range keeps the tool focused on real-world engine applications without excess dial face that confuses users.

The included carrying case protects the indicator's calibration during transport, reducing warranty returns and customer complaints. For bulk orders, this tool pairs naturally with socket sets, timing light kits, and torque measurement instruments, opening cross-sell opportunities across your service departments.

Why Stock This Gauge

Mechanics performing engine timing work cannot function without a TDC indicator. The 0.01mm resolution is tight enough for valve overlap checks and bore measurement work, yet the 8mm ceiling covers virtually all practical TDC applications. The robust carrying case ensures the gauge arrives calibrated and stays protected on the service bay floor—reducing comebacks and building customer confidence.
