Lock the E-Z heel with a piece of rubber, and perform the test, remove after.
PITA but that's what we've done when double-checking.

Hi Scott, I don't mean to talk I'm circles
but you can also run the bike on one cylinder and check the opposite cylinder. I've finally almost gotten Travis bike tuned, I have been absolutely slammed in the shop and we've been selling the T124 motors and quoting them like crazy. Just got one in this week and probably have another low compression version here next week.
For those interested I have a recipe I use to beef the cruise drive trans up in conjunction with the T124's (I like the Baker Street Door to stop the helical cut gears from trying to push away from one another and their heavy duty throw out bearing, Baker attitude adjuster and I also prefer the Evolution Industries Diamond Terminator clutch in either stock 46 tooth or for lower gearing if using the T124 with 640 cams I run the 49 tooth clutch). I've found this recipe is pretty damn bullet proof makes great real world power, you get a warranty and all the companies involved in this recipe I've formulated are allude in the USA premium components. Bang for the buck, all made in USA and a warranty to boot is hard to ignore. I've got one in the shop now (high compression version) to install with the T2 cases and we will be renting the jig we also have to drill and tap the stock trans to run the oil like kit needed for the T2 S&S cases. We will probably post a YouTube video soon of how to use the jig to drill and tap you 6 speed for the external line kit available from S&S and the tool can be rented from us or were happy to do these builds for you and tune them here with the tuner of your choice. We are authorized S&S, Baker Drivetrain, Evolution Industries, TTS MasterTune, Dynojet Power Vision and Techno Reaearch Direct Link dealers. We have 2 of these 124's going right now with this recipe and several 5-6 other builds going that involve reworking the cranks and or replacing them with S&S or reworked Darkhorse cranks with Timken inserts but when you start to compare cubes and labor costs and warranties, the S&S T124 becomes very appealing. We can always change up the recipe to better suit your needs too if there's something else you have in mind, I'm only a PM away.
