Darn, how did I miss this? I've got a spare if you still need one, I'm in Vallejo

Get the jj and a tool... Works fantastically! Worth every penny! A word of advice though: they recommend not using wrenches on it and I must agree. I managed to pull the threaded end off one of my plugs using wrenches on the #7 cylinder plug. Due to the weird clearances it was "easier" to...

Backed out that screw two turns and the motor is definitely better but still loud... more like it should be I'm thinking :-) Now it sounds nice a clattery (I hearby deem that a technical term ;-) ) but not like a jackhammer knocking through a ship's hull. This is with the timing just retarded...
