I was surfing the net and came across this article:

http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/v...lveadjust.html

This article teaches you how to do an valve adjustment on a honda B-series motor. What they did to make the special valve adjustment tool was to take a regular 10mm wrench and bend two 90degree angles in it....i know these wrenches are made of high quality steel so bending them would be hard as FxxK.......does anyone have any idea how they did it??

Thanks!

I don't know how they bent it but you can buy an already bent 10mm wrench like the one in the article from Snap-on. I have one and it works better than the $40 combination tool (which I also have). The $40 tool does NOT work on reground Honda cams.

look closer at the bends in the wrench and you will see where they heated it up pretty hot and then bent it.

Or you could just buy the valve adjustment tool that is designed for either sohc (10mm jam nut) or dohc (12mm jam nut). It only cost $45, has a Blue Point part number. Check the snap-on site!
