Gee. Thanks for pointing that out.
I thread was about chain crimp tools. I said that I have a few tools in my
tool box that I rarely use including the base setting tool for hydraulic
lifters. No need to point out to me where it's used or that it's not used
on Diesels.
Someone asked what the

I'm not new round here. I've been on the lists for over 5 years. Obi and I

How much will you give me for this tool? It's not going to be free because
I paid about 300 bucks for it.

You said the tools were unneeded, so I offered to pay shipping to take them off
your hands, remember? Can't have a toolbox cluttered up with unnecessary tools

There's a small pin that rests on top of the lifter along with the tool and

need a thicker or thinner lash
It's used for V8 style engines. Everything from 1976 and on. 450, 380, 500,
6.9 and 560 that I've seen. I know some newer diesels have hydraulic
lifters but all the ones I've worked on are mechanical.
However, I was talking about MB tools in general; how expensive they can be
and how little

u'uns.

Hey, I'm farm boy and you learn to make do. I used to rivet sections into

My distributor tester? I USE that and it pays to have it around.
