It looks like the right one buddy. Valve adjustment isn't difficult with the right tools.

The Helms will pay for itself very shortly if you intend to carry out your own servicing.

Agree many times.

And be patient, allow for a few hours to do it in, get a good soundtrack for the boombox!

Don't buy the manual just to do a valve adjustment. Follow these instead!

But it is certainly a good thing to have.. there ARE a lot of DIY writeups here, but they don't cover everything.

Bought the manual on ebay and the adjustment tool on Amazon.com for about $12. There are fancier adjustment tools but this worked for me.

Just make sure you torque those nuts.
