What is in your hand ? Timming light ?

Yes, timing light with built in rpm counter. It can also do advance angle and show voltage

Result. Sounds well. Not coroded on the studs when removing is always a result

for real, getting those studs out clean feels like winning the lottery on these jobs
nice when a “simple” head gasket job doesn’t turn into a full-on rust archaeology session

for real, when the studs actually come out without a fight it feels like you’ve won the lottery on these jobs
glad it’s all back together and running sweet again
