I think they were done with a piston stop and a buzz box.You could substitute a dial indicator. The specs should be in your manual.

Hi AimeengorgeThis info is getting hard to come by any more. If you will post your e-mail adress and the ser# of your motor, I will try and send it to you. It will take me some time to dig it up.
