Product Information
Full details
This Neilsen CT5847 Precision Straight Edge is designed for mechanics and engine specialists needing to accurately detect distortions in cylinder heads and engine blocks, especially for engines up to 6 cylinders. Its key benefit is providing a reliable, flat surface for precise measurement, though its 600mm length might be less suitable for very compact engine components. It offers a robust tool for quality control and diagnostic work in automotive repair.

FAQs
What is the primary use of this precision straight edge?
Its primary use is to check for flatness and detect distortions or warpage on engine cylinder heads and engine blocks.
What size engines is this tool suitable for?
It is suitable for engines up to 6 cylinders.
Can I use this tool with feeler gauges?
Yes, it is designed to be used in conjunction with feeler gauges for more precise measurements of flatness.
How long is the straight edge?
The straight edge is 600mm in length.
How should I clean and maintain the straight edge?
Clean it with a soft, dry cloth after use and store it carefully to protect the precision edge from damage.
What should I do if I suspect the straight edge is not accurate?
Ensure both the tool and the surface being measured are perfectly clean. Inspect the edge for any physical damage that might affect its flatness.
Troubleshooting
Inaccurate readings
Ensure both the straight edge and the surface being measured are clean and free of dirt, oil, or debris. Verify the surface being measured is stable and not flexing.
Difficulty sliding feeler gauge
This typically indicates a distortion or high spot. If the gauge does not fit at any point, the surface is likely flat. If it fits in places, this indicates warpage.
Edge appears damaged
Inspect the edge carefully for any nicks or scratches. If the precision edge is compromised, its accuracy will be affected, and it may need replacement.
