Tools for adjusting valves?
#1
Where can i get the correct size feeler gauges and im sure they make a tool that makes tighting the nut and lock nut easier. I didnt have much luck last time i did it with a wrench. thanks for your help

I can get the feeler gauges from my parts store but it only has one gauge in each range if that makes any since. I asked the dealership if they could get it for me and they said no, i know damn well they can so i hate to spend my money there. Maybe ill email powerpartsplus, see what they can do for me. thanks

Not sure what you mean by "one size for each range". You can combine them to get the desired setting.
Here is the only kind you should really need: Sears KD Tools Brand Feeler Guage
It's only $4.99.
BTW, we are from the same town: Dayton, except yours is in Ohio and mine is in PA, LOL

I usually just use a pair of Needle Nose Pliers, and a small wrench to adjust the valves.
Just get your spec. gap, hold the Tappet with the pliers, and tighten with the wrench...
...It's hard to do at first, because the oil on the Tappets make getting a grip with the pliers tricky.

Motion Pro has special built feeler gauges for nearly all valve settings. They come with two sizes on each gauge so one will do both intake and exhaust. Motion Pro also has special tool for adjusting settings on models that have odd ball adjuster. You can get by with Sears truck tools but once you use the correct tools you will never be without.
