What size are the bolt heads ? Standard or metric? Have these in metric, real handy in tight spots like that. While I like that little tool I can see it wobbling out with some use if the loctite's the bear he says.

That does look Handy. Im not at the point of reinstalling the covers. I just barely put the rocker arms back in. I Fk'd up though and put the motor on TDC rear and installed the rockers then rotated to TDC front and installed the front rockers. It should have been done on BTC I guess? They went in ok with very little if any resistance but Im not sure what the consequences are? Book says rotating before lifters bleed down could cause damage? I didnt hear or feel anything strange rotating by hand between front and rear TDC to install rockers? I didnt replace the lifters so maybe no harm no foul?
