Default valve adjustment?

I've read some how to's. Done it a few times on some SOHC motors back in the day. Is it do able on the S without the special tool?

Do-able? I'm sure. But, I think it would be much more of a PITA. Just get the tool. You'll be glad you did.

That's what I figured. I have the day off so was thinking about attempting now but not if I have to hunt down a tool.

Thx.

Special tool? The one for the adjustment screw? I did mine with a screwdriver and wrench; didn't have any trouble with it.

I got the adjustment tool if you want to borrow. As for the valves adjustment it's simple as 1-2-3, lol. To me i think it's more PITA just to open the spark plugs cover & the valve cover than to adjust the valves.

I think I'll take you up on that offer. Let me know when I could get it from you.

I'm in Mckinney as well. After I do mine, I'll let you know how it goes. I don't see it being too difficult.
