MECHANICS STETHOSCOPE- should this do the job?

[djinuk]

Im looking at buying one of these to check for det whilst tuning..

Just wondering should this do the job, the hose looks tiny do i have to extend these ?

also how do you fix it to the block ?

Make sure your gental with the resonator for the steth as the cheap ones break really easly, sometimes worth paying a bit more for a sturder item. The front of the block will also do for mounting but I would say the cylinder head is best.

the middle of the block towards the top is best as that way you can hear cylinders 1 an 4 equally and also you don't get the valvetrain noise from the head

Go for a single pipe stethoscope like in this link, easier to extend ;)
