Come on "Folks", why run the risk of; at the least lowered fuel
mileage/lower performance, and at the worst a burnt piston/head. The risk is
not worth the savings.......you can buy a brand X timing light for $20.00,
anyone can learn to use one in five minutes!.......... A pawn shop special
may even be less. This is false savings, "like sending a dollor after a
dime". (not exactly sure what that means, just something my Daddy used to
say, but you get the point)
