Yes, it's measured at the edge of the piston, not the center, which is dished. I assumed the flat bar you mentioned would have the hole in it for the plunger of the gauge more or less at its middle, which would be fine for non-TypeIV engines but presents a problem for the TypeIV. --------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Young '81 Vanagon Lafayette, CA 94549 '82 Westfalia --------------------------------------------------------------- |
