Title: First valve clearence check question..
Post by heroicseven on 05/17/12 at 15:18:42

After reading everything in the tech section about adjusting valves, I'm ready to take the plunge.

Before I get started i was wondering where I could procure a "Valve feeler assembly". I dont have one and am wondering if its someting that I make? or can I buy one.

Any imput would be great.

Thanks

Any auto supply store should have a set of feeler gauges.

Find the feeler gauges you want & remove them from the bunch, Put a ski tip curve on the end, bend it in a Z shape,, youll get what Im sayin after you start trying to get the thing in there,,youll see where to bend it,

These are a tad more costly but are already angled. Anything I've gotten from MotionPro in the past has been of good quality.
