Harbor Freight Dial Indicators are fine. I use 'em.

I don't use a plug adapter tho. Pulling the head's easy and then I mount an indicator on this homemade rig.

NIce piece-of-art there, pntrbl.
I also pull the head on the DT/RT, and use the HF Digital on a like/same adapter.

On CT/TY(Straight Down), I use a homemade spark-plug adapter, built from an old plug:

Nice setup!
IF it isn't one thing, it's another.

Here is a straight-down shot.

I drilled and tapped-in a couple of 10-32 Hex-Head, Set Screws
after I cut off/cleaned out the insides of the spark plug.

A drop of Blue Loctite on each set screw, to keep them in place.

Harbor Freight Tools, it is a discount tool supply in the U.S. 
it is a Pittsburgh brand and cost around $30.00 reads in both sae and metric. Sometime they have coupons available for 20% off.
