Where in the US can I purchase a piston locking tool (piston stopper)? And what is the correct thread size of the stopper?

I know there are other methods for locking the piston but I prefer to use a locking tool.

Thanks,
Bannon05

This is the correct way to make sure the crank stays true. Never use impacts to remove or install the clutch and flywheel, use hand tools only.

Thank you. So the correct size is 10mm?

Would you use the same one for the g290rc as well?

Yes, it starts as the exact same engine (until Toxic Al mods the 270) except the 34mm piston is replaced by a 36mm piston
