I just grabbed a 10mm wrench and hit it with my sledge over my jack (hard metal) until it was bent the required 90 degrees...works like a charm!

I had pretty good luck with the Gear Wrench (ratchet with a hole in the head) from Sears. I used the 10mm socket and 3" extension to turn the locknut, with a screwdriver down the middle to adjust the set screw.

Best procedure I found was:

- loosen locknut and set screw
- slip in thicker of the two allowable feeler gauges (i.e. 0.007" for GS-R intake)
- adjust set screw
- finger-tighten locknut with socket+extension
- torque down locknut with ratchet.

For me, 75% of the time the torque-down would move the setscrew slightly; it would allow the thinner feeler (i.e. 0.006") to fit, but the 0.007" wouldn't anymore. Perfect!

does anybody ever have trouble using feeling gauges on the intake valves on the D-seies motor? the fuel injection wiring and stuff, along with other stuff back there really doesn't allow me to use feeler gauges like i've always used them... is there a honda trick that i'm not aware of? perhaps different feeler gauges?

Use a 3/8 10mm deep socket pressed in or welded on the box end of a 5/8 wrench. Easy and cheap to make, also - a flat head that will feed into the socket
