    What I DID find in the camper though were two 10mm sockets. I'm quite sure that I have NEVER had a 10mm socket in the camper so I surmise that the only way it could have got there was via a black hole or a shift in the space time continuum or something.
    You do realise that 10mm sockets dropped by others in engine bays might dislodge on the highway and are orphaned, lying on the road, you come thundering down the highway with camper in tow. Your Disco tyre runs over the socket and flicks it and it becomes airborne were the trajectory directs it to your camper. So It's pretty plausible of how they got into your camper. So MYTH BUSTED .

    I am considering writing to a tool manufacturer that instead of making a kit of 50 different sized sockets they make a kit of 50 10ml sockets.
    That's probably 25 jobs you can do before they all disappear.

    BTW This tread is NOT helping the OP get the bolt out of the timing chain!

    Nor getting it tightly back into it's threads! ... for fear of potentially losing his last remaining 10mm socket!

    My understanding is that the 10mm socket is the origin of stealth technology. Simply weld or otherwise fasten one or more to Shapiro is you don’t want seen. I don’t believe it though, as everyone knows 10mm tools don’t actually exist.

    Seemingly, but stealth technology itself probably doesn't really exist. A technology that supposedly exists to hide the fact that something exists, becomes a paradox in the physical world. And Physics doesn't coexist well with paradoxes.

    I'm thinking the answer lies in something a bit more fundamental, and it relates to Einstein and Hawking .. respectively of GR and blackhole fame.

    (very basically)Hawking is a bit famous for working out a solution to the massive issue of the lost information of quantum physics and he proposes this radiation stuff(out of blackholes), but this doesn't sit too well with the big E's General Relativity stuff. Nothing can escape a blackhole.

    So, I'm thinking one of two possibilities.
    1/. 10mm sockets are the product of the condensation of this supposed radiation(now called Hawking Radiation) emanating from blackholes, and being the case, they themselves evaporate(not the blackholes as Hawking proposed)

    2/. 10mm sockets are the stuff that is lost in this information loss that quantum physics can't cope with. If they reckon that quantum entanglement is something that can't be broken, but information HAS to be lost, then surely the sacrificial part that has to be lost will be the 10mm socket, therefore why quantum theory works so well, even tho it really shouldn't.

    I think Penn and Teller "of Fool us fame" can see the workings of the trick of the illusion of disappearing 10mm sockets. It probably similar to a slide of the hand coin trick but using 10mm sockets instead of coins.

    Hang on, we're on the cusp of solving the quantum 10mm socket delirium,
    and now you want a timing chain as well??
