Default valve adjustment tool

I did a valve adjustment on my S2000 last night. This little item really helped. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002Q8TU...glance&n=228013 If you are interested you can borrow it.

The big question: Does it protect you from accidently using US standard versus metric clearances?

Not too much out and not all of the valves. On both in and ex side. I had a very small tap and wanted to see if I could fix it.

Did you fix it?

Every time I go to a drive-thru eatery, the wall next to the car really magnifies the sound of the valves.

Yes! It is smooth like silk. If you want to try it I will let you borrow the tool and feeler gauges or give you a hand at the next tech day or any open weekend.

I noticed mine tap at the drive thru. It was not loud but you could hear it on idle w/o the drive thru. Just kind of aggravated me. I don

Yep, definately feels like it pulls harder. Feels torquier and more responsive, and doesn't stutter/bog as much in the low and mid rpms.

Agreed... adjusting my valves resulted in a positive butt dyno response also.

I'm at about 10,500 miles, so I don't think I need to. Thanks for the offer though.
