I was going through his tool selection and found a valve adjusting tool. A handle with a socket and a screw driver blade in middle of socket connected to a knob that you turn to adjust valve. An all in one tool. I am sure many of you know this tool exists, but it is new to me.

I still do it that way. The tool you describe was almost a must to turn the jamb nut and the adjustment screw with one hand and use the feeler gauge with the other hand. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 | These pop up on ebay every so often but go for more than I want to pay. I too like to adjust the valves with the engine running.
