I have been reading the forums on valve adjustment, I have two questions. A Porsche 914 shop manual I have has a picture of a valve adjustment tool (see below). I was wondering if this tool is still available through a vendor? It looks like it would work great in tight places plus you would not need three hands!
Has anyone had experience with this tool? Also I climbed under my teener and looked at the valve covers. Not much room under there. I guess you can adjust the valve without removing the heat exchangers? The picture has some tin removed. Thank you in advance for your help. Attached image(s)
