Valve Wobble Test Fix Without Indi
Might work better on parallel valve engines, but I couldnt get it to line up right on the valve stem on my angle valve IO-540-K1G5D. Maybe there should be some instructions with the tool.
The fixture itself is ok. Attaches with only one screw on angle valve cylinders, but good enough. The valve extension is included and makes this worth buying. Do not buy the gauge however. The one I received was defective, and took months to get a replacement. Meanwhile I purchased one for less than half the cost elsewhere, and it was better quality.
Valve extension is way too short for the angle valve TIO & IO-540s. Haven’t tried it on a parallel valve yet. Only 1 screw lines up but should be enough to hold it solid if tight to get a reading. As soon as I figure out how to make a longer extension to test the valve I’ll know if this works. Would not recommend.

The note is correct. This tool is good for parallel valve and angle valve engines.
Per supplier: It depends on the position of the mounting lug and whether or not the lug is plastic or steel. The indicator is clamped by the lug on back of the indicator, so if it's a plastic lug, that could present a problem. It the orientation is wrong and the lug/backing plate can be rotated to the correct position, that can resolve one issue.
Per the supplier: Yes, it comes with the adapter that attaches to the valve stem.
