This month's shop tip is just as much a pits tip! If you are like me, I don't like mechanic's gloves. And with most gloves, heat still finds its way to your fingers. So here's a oldie but goodie that I made at least 40 years ago.

Sometimes you get to change spark plugs when the engine is cold. But very often you need to check a plug or replace the plugs when the engine is too warm to touch.   If you are lucky, your "plug socket" still has the little rubber bushing inside. But sometimes they fall out and get lost. Or, you may be in a hurry, going plug to plug, breaking them loose with a helper coming behind pulling them out.

Either way, a handy tip is to take an old plug boot and stick a 3/8 in bolt in it. Now, just pop the boot on a plug and spin it out.

Wow, this one trick in the data is worth the price alone!    IM, GA

At ThunderHill I would say that there is about 1 second contribution from what I learned from the Webinars... This past weekend at Infineon I improved my personal best by over 2 seconds, huge!    (Protected), CA

I want to thank you for the very informative class...   It definitely made me aware of the potential of the system.  Up till now, we've used the system mostly as a engine health monitor... and as a very expensive lap timer.    AB, NY
