    I’d rather use the ziptie method, cuz:

    1. You can rotate the bucket to get the notch. With the “tool” you have to make sure the bucket is indexed just right so when it rotates, the notch stops where you need it. One the ‘tool’ holds the bucket down, you’re not going to be able to spin the bucket.

    2. some extra zip ties, and you can do two valves at once.

    I found this point to be very important. Being able to spin the bucket is really, really helpful.

    I agree, using the zip tie or wire method is the way to go. Faster IMHO and I think if you can keep metal on metal contact out of the picture is a good thing.

    Tool can crack the head if the cam is rotated the wrong way which is another good reason to use the zip tie or wire method.

    I have two of them, and they just sit in the shim box. I haven’t used either of them in probably 10 yrs
