Sounds a bit of over engineering to me. You can use the hose technique
(its easy and really fairly accurate), or you can use one of a handful
of over the counter synchronizers, or you can use wires-in-the-piston
method used in the German made SU tool kits. All of these will get you
what you want without putting any holes in stuff. Personally I like the
wires-in-the-piston method myself.
