Wheel spacers can provide extra clearance to the outer face of the caliper. This will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the vehicle. Fender clearances should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts are usually required. Note: The Wheel Industry Council has issued guidelines advising wheel spacers not be used. It is the responsibility of the customer to insure wheel spacers are properly specified and installed.

The Rotary-engine Compression Tester Model ReCT-03b User Manual
August 6th, 2008 · No Comments
The Rotary-engine Compression Tester can be used to obtain accurate engine compression measurements in a rotary (i.e., Wankel) engine. The Tester combines the output from an AST pressure transducer with the data conversion function of a DATAQ analog-to-digital device to acquire and record accurate compression readings for each face of each rotor in a rotary engine. This system also allows the calculation of engine cranking RPM during the test for data normalization.
