The other thing, I have no clue. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 | Those are very rare tools. I think you got them way too cheap. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | If that valve adjustment set turns out to be for a Ford Model T, I saw on the H.A.M.B. somebody was looking for one. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 164 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 164 | yep Marty, now I just need to figure out how to use them.

It is for adjusting valves with the engine running so it will not slip off the adjuster while the engine is running. I have used it lots of times before I got the tool with a socket and screwdriver combination for adjusting valves and working the lock nut at the same time.
