I used a dremel to cut 2 notches on a 10mm deep socket. Screwdriver goes through the middle and a 13mm open end wrench fits on the top of the socket. Works like a champ, cheaper than Amazon!

I have yet to adjust valves on this motor. Does not just a standard open/box end wrench work? Clearance issue somewhere?

also make sure you have correct angle feeler gauges. A lot of sets are missing .007 .009

Did mine today and glad I did as I had a few loose valves.
