Found: 10mm wrench

[7502]

I was adjusting the timing on my '63 Karmann Ghia years ago and didn't notice the 10mm socket was still on the distributor locking clamp bolt. That trooper has been on there for probably close to 10 years. It's jammed in just right that it never comes off on its' own.

 

I just let it stay there and it always works fine. I have other 10mm sockets that see more action but at this point it's a single use socket.

Never fund the wrench, did find the nut in the oil pan during overhaul, it had taken the skirt off of the number 1 piston. Guessing some during a valve adjust just lost it.

I remember rolling my 2002s to adjust valves, but only loosening the locknuts without removing.

20.02 is my final offer for that wrench

My experience has learned me up to place a piece of shop rag under the rocker when changing any of the valve adjusting hardware, never had one go down the hole but scared my self a time or two.
