Default Using a dmm as a tachometer

I have a dmm with an HZ function, could I use it to measure RPM of a single cylinder petrol engine by wrapping a few turns of wire around the spark plug lead
to get a reading then divide the result by 60?
I have not tried the experiment as I was worried that despite electrical insulation evh could migrate into the dmm and destoy it
