Valve adjustment/intake/exhaust

Thank you on

• Valves

I had hell getting the valves out to lap them; tried the notched screwdriver without much luck. What worked the best was one of those 90 degree screwdrivers, which aren't too uncommon I think (found one in my Dad's toolbox). With it I could lever the valve down enough to pull out the clip without even tugging...

I and others have made our own tools for adjusting the valves, I took an old screw driver, cut the tip off, then heated it and bent a sharp 90 about a 1/4" from the tip, Then I welded a small nut on the bottom side back about 1/4" from the bend, with this set up you can keep the lifter from turning while adjusting it, You'll also have to find an old 1/4" open end wrench and grind down the edges so it will fit the lifter nut.
