I was just wondering if there are special tools to adjust valves on my 96 GSR, and where i can get a hold of those tools. I've seen people do it with screw drivers but that seemed to be a pain.

Oh and some Do's and Dont's on a valve adjustment. Thanks

 

do a search on valve adjustments... there are special tools for this. there's one with a screwdriver and a hexdriver/wrench combined. you can also get a special wrench that's bent for the correct angle. or you can get a wrench and have it bent. i would definitely do your homework before you attempt this.

woah thats on odd lookgin tool. Do you use it match it to the white line?

 

those are feeler guages, i jut did mine yesturday morning for the first time, very easy to do and i believe the special tools are like $50 its way cheaper to just bend a wrench. just takes a little longer.

As already stated..

You need a feeler gauge and here is a write up:

X2^^^^ but i believe you might be able to get them at Advance auto or somewhere like that and when your done with it (and its not broke )you get your money back

 

^dude, that's low. for $12.50, just keep the darn things the c-speed site is helpful.

 

your right you mine as well but that is just what the dude at advance told me to do lol

 

definitely buy the tool it's amazing what such a small clearance difference can do... it's very simple to do my car ran like after i built my motor, my friend came over and told me i needed to adjust the valves, he taught me, 15 min later my new motor purred like a kitten.
