I dunno... At first I thought "snake oil". Mostly because I wasn't sure if it woudl actually fit into the tight confines of adjusting the valves in situ. But thinking about it, it might just fit...

Hmmm.....

i think it would be easier to modify your cyl head tin... making a piece removable, giving you acess to the top of the valve cover etc (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

You know, it's pretty rare to find a valve adjustment screw on any 914/4 (at least all of the ones I've owned) that I couldn't turn the screw with my fingers once the lock nut was loosened.

this tool holds the adjuster with the knob, and turns the socket with the handle....

I think the point of the tool is not so much to turn the screw, but to be able to hold it in place while tightening the locking nut. But... You knew that already...So I'm just writting this for the sake of... uhm... I dunno....
