I'm guessing it's the tools that you secure with the head bolts and screw little white plastic blocks onto the bottom of the bolts, this enables you to turn an engine over if the head has been removed

Overall 110mm long, it is 22mm OD tube with a 10mm bore.

Machined at the end is a 39mm long oviod, tapering from 28mm to 20mm, this is 10mm thick.

You will require three if clamping a four cylinder K series, and four if clamping a KV6

I made some myself using a bit of tube and a couple of washers.

The only time I've ever needed them is when I sealed some new liners. Never used them on a hg change. There's no need to turn the crank while the heads off unless you wanted to inspect the liners
