Here is a good video showing another light bulb coil tester that is no good. Open gap type clearly shows proper coil condition at low to high revs. Chalk up another win for the PET-4000.

Starts at 6:40 into the video.

 
Might was well state the obvious. Another video showing why NOT to use RTV on valve covers. Help the next guy by using non hardening sealants. They are actually cheaper as well.
 
RTV on valve covers is not as bad as anyone lets on, just got to know how to use a BFH and backbone razor blades. Just had to clean a mess where the RTV wasn't install correctly nor was the impulse hose nor was it the correct hose. It was leaking all over the place on that 44S. BTW PermaTex Ultra Black or Grey doesn't harden just becomes a strong rubbery setup.

To remove excessive sealant on valve covers: Use a heat gun to soften the sealant, then a couple of small screwdrivers to gently pry valve cover. Then use a wire wheel on a battery drill to remove sealant from valve cover and cylinder head. Scotch bright and carburetor cleaner for the last bits of sealant.
 
Or take a red shop rag and WIPE OFF both surfaces. Little degreaser and she is ready for more non hardening sealant.

No need for BFH's, pry bars. chisels, wire wheels, 5-n-1 tools, grinders, heat guns, screw drivers, battery drills and so on..........

Not to mention the most important one for guys that repair and own shops. TIME is the largest savings here guys.
