does anybody know the part number for a honda valve adjustment tool. tried searching but dont come up with the number. or do you just walk in to the stealership and ask for one.

 

??? You can just use a Lock nut wrench, Slot head screwdriver 10mm, 16mm, 19mm socket and rachet, and a set of angled feeler gauges

What are you referring to as a lock nut wrench? I don't think you can get anything but a socket down in there. And the problem is if you try to tighten the jam nut without holding the tappet screw in place, you'll overtighten the tappet screw and close up the lash. I think snap-on makes a special tool for this. It's basically a hollow socket with a pseudo wrench attached to it. (looks kinda like the spark plug wrench that would come in a motorcycle's or ATV's toolkit)

 

anybody have the part number for the snap on i was on their website and couldnt find one

 

I have always done valve adsjusts at work on numerous cars with a 10mm socket, screwdriver, and feeler gauges.

 

Do you recheck the lash after tightening the jam nut? If so, have you ever found it to be off and have to redo it? Having the right tools for a job can make the difference between a pleasant experience and a job well done or a knuckle busting exercise in profanity.

Hopefully this link works ...

me too

 

its not terribly hard to do with hand tools. 35 for a snap on tool is not too bad. I didnt actually look but I think thats what the snap on guy told me last i checked. But I do use a similar tool on ALFA v6's and it helps alot. Im not nocking useing specialty tools but in this case i think its easier to use hand tools. First timers dont need the snap on tool.

try $50+ for the snap-on tool.

The reason why it's necessary on B-series DOHC VTEC heads is because the adjusting screws and locknuts are very deep inside the head. On non-VTEC engines, the screws and nuts are up higher and a special tool is not necessary.
