valve adjust tool for honda/acura

[Schugg]

im assuming its called a valve adjusting tool, but i couldnt find one like what im thinking of on the net anywhere. does anyone know where i can get one of these, or what the proper name would be for it? im not looking for just some cheap thing that will get the job done, atleast want something by craftsman or better

snap on...search amazon

Snap on has one, that is what I use, but a Good 10mm wrench an Flat head does the same thing

just to make it easier for ya...

this is the one i have, but tech5 is right...its not hard to do, just loosed the lock nut, check the clearence, adjust it, tighten it back.

If you don't know the name of the tool, you shouldn't do the job of this caliber. There IS a certain way to do this procedure. Do it incorrectly and you'll be VERY pissed.

haha, honestly that offends me. dont need to question my mechanical ability over the simple fact that i dont know the name of a tool. im sure your just looking out for me, thinking im just some noob trying to doing things him self. but ive done it before, ive just never used the proper tool, so there for i didnt know the proper name. that would be like if you and your boys were out, and you seen some fine ass girl you wanted to get with, but your buddy said no you dont even know her name, you shouldnt even mess with her. what are you going to do? your going to get her name then show him who knows what their doing.....hope my analogy helped in your understanding of how i felt.....haha

^I'd pull a "Dont Be a Menace" and put a gun to her head and make her tell me her name! lolol

A simple wrench and flathead can yield the same results. Done many a valve adj. that way.

Yeah dude, a flat wrench or socket and a set of feeler gauges. You can get the feeler gauges at any auto store for around 5-8 bucks.
