I need one of these. My pump got installed and the numbskulls used silicone instead of a gasket. I can't rotate it to advance base timing.

Anymore testimonials? Any pics of it installed?

I tried hitting it with a mallet, but didn't wack it too hard. Would rather try this product after I hear more experiences with it.

put tension on the pump w a strap then whack it wa deadblow hammer. Worked great for me. Now thinking of getting the spacer too. So is a 1/8" timing bump w the spacer to much?

well, I love the low end with the timing set at stock right now. It's great around town. If this device allows you to keep the low end while advancing the timing at the top.. that would be great.
