Nifty little tool screws into a spark plug hole and will tell when that cylinder is at Top Dead Center or TDC.
Available with different spark plug adapters.

Great tool to have for sure around the shop/garage and the mistake i'm making is thinking i'm @ TDC when hear the first whistle.-Thanks-

Some of these comments... wow. This is not meant to replace timing marks, it's a time saving device to help you get it on the right rotation and somewhere near tdc. A job it does very well, with many uses.

Yes, excellent tool to have, when my TDC whistle disappeared mysteriously, (Brad, I want my tool back) I quickly made one by simply grabbing a small barrel hiking whistle and attached it to a rubber hose and stuck it in the #1 cylinder plug hole.

I happen to think that this is an amazing tool to have.

Best way is to pull valve cover and look at number 1 valves--believe me

@4doorsmorewhores674 9 месяцев назад

Is it? Because that sounds like a pain in the ass and this thing just whistles and tells you.

@johngranato2673 9 месяцев назад

@@4doorsmorewhores674 I have had the whistle go off during the exhaust stroke (while manually turning the engine).

@@johngranato2673 If your engine makes enough pressure to whistle on the exhaust stroke, you've got some investigating to do.

Did you pull all your spark plugs out?? changing our my leaky timing chain gasket, Just order one of these just in case I throw it outof timing.

When you’re at TDC at this time when the whistle stops. Are the timing marks the cam and crank gears supposed to be facing each other or both lined up in the 12 O’clock position ?

I'm planning to clean my intake valves on a 4 cylinder GDI Mazda engine. Would this help with finding TDC so that the valves are closed on any given cylinder?

-Great Idea, any chance you might like to share a build blueprint? Would make a sweet afternoon project to through on the lathe and looks like the mill also. I might add a flax hose and a bigger like Foghorn for the hearing impaired.

Easily bought from www.kenlowe.com.au/tdc_whistle.html

A stiff flex hose would make it easier to fit in in many cases, in our case where we have easy access it is not necessary and without the hose it takes up less space in the tool box. I first made one forty years ago and often used it at the race track to quickly determine if the engine was on zero on 180 out.

@davymoose3815 4 года назад

Okay, it whistles only when the crankshaft pulley is at 12 o clock and the camshaft is at 12 o clock?? ..... Isn't it supposed to be 12 o clock on crankshaft and six o clock on the camshaft ??????

@KenLoweRaceCars 4 года назад

Whistles only on compression... not on overlap.

@danielboone72 4 года назад

Instead of using a breaker bar, how about just turning the ignition by bumping it?

@KenLoweRaceCars 4 года назад

You can bump it over and easily tell where TDC is as opposed to 180 out. With a long ratchet you can get it very very close. Certainly close enough to drop a distributor in.

Thanks.
