I like it. I've had luck with an impact gun on those too. I like the extra long triple square socket -- is that an off the shelf tool somewhere?

It’s an SK triple square set.

15.5 in Westward breaker
24 in Canadian Tire Maximum

The Canadian Tire Max have lifetime warranty like SnapOn and I have actually been able to replace them no hassle if they break. 3 items so far.
SnapOn however I have never been able replace because you can’t ever find the SnapOn guy.
I have about 10 items that need replacing and have been broken for 20 years or more.

Wait, what is it? Have a TSB number? I remember struggling to get clarity on that when I built my current motor!

I will post it when I get home.

I think I have a copy on my computer.

Also I texted Soloracer as he has a hard copy from the Calgary Porsche dealership.

#3 rod bearings high tech machining. Just starve it of oil and the bearings become much lighter. Completely eliminates one shell 🫢🫣🤨😬😆🤮
