AirRam says "Temporarily out of stock". I've googled "dimensions", "measurements", and any other way I could think of, and haven't found them. It's just a damn plastic wedge with a rope. I thought I'd try to make a couple of them out of a hard plastic or wood with 550 cord. If anyone has a linky to those dimensions online, please post! Thanks.

Yeah, the little plastic wedge with the rope and handle to retain the timing chain tensioner. I figured that I would just put a short loop on a homemade wedge. I picked up an '00 regular cab with a 4.7 5 speed (cheap), and need to pull the right bank head for coolant loss. I was a dealer tech for 11 years, and don't remember ever pulling a 4.7 head. I did put HO cams in my old Dakota around '02 though...back when we could still get 'em. I'd appreciate the dimensions on it if you think of it there. Thanks!
