cool...thanks man...saw one on http://www.powerbuilttools.com/import.html#648827 for cheaper price...check it out....

 

i believe its $12 + shipping...it look like a pretty decent tool to use...especially for that cheap...

 

Its cheaper(Seeing as you probably have them around the house already) to just use either a 10 or 12 mm wrench and a screwdriver.

its a 12mm not a 10. this makes me doubt matco's reputation.

 

just to let you guy know... vtec heads use the 10mm and nonvtec heads use the 12mm.

This is possible on a VTEC head, but it really elongates the procedure. For $12.99, I'll take the Alltrade tool and save about 30 minutes during a valve adjustment.

 

sears = mad cheap and has it

^^i really think you haven't done a valve adj. on a B18c. i really wouldn't understand how you can do with the valv adj. tool. if you did one before, you would know it's a 10mm.

 

for a non vtec b18b i dont think you need this tool, the jam nut is not recessed, but for a b18C1 it is probably a must because the jam nut is so far down in there.
