Any opinions on how this you tube video does it:

its pretty decent. Not quite as controlled as having the wrench and screw driver on at the same time but if it works then I dont see anything wrong with it. He should use a tq wrench lol

 

[QUOTE=nibble,Sep 25 2004, 11:35 AM] after everything was on, make sure not to leave any tool in engine compartment.... including rechet set on the crank.

 

does anyone have any pictures of tools they have bought or made for this job so I can get an idea...thanks

 

The tools that I bought that are specific to valve adjustments are:

I also used a socket set, torque wrench, breaker bar, allen keys, hammer/mallet, and plastic scraper.

 

Here's my S2000 valve adjustment how-to: http://robrobinette.com/S2000ValveAdjust.htm

 

Great info, I was planning on doing this soon - question that I didn't see answered in the thread:

If you are replacing the spark plug tube gaskets and valve cover gasket - do they need to be lubricated before installing? Motor oil, some other lubricant, or nothing?

Thanks for any input.

 

i would lub them with motor oil very lightly.

 

In your post your specified turning the crank "counterclock wise" to" to bring up cylinder #4. All other DIY threads indicate turning the crank clock wise. Does this make any difference since the S2K is gear driven?

 

just did mine at 85k miles. everything went great and car is running great.
