first time I've seen one. Do they work? Looks cool & the thought behind it seem like it'd work or do they just get it the way? I'm always wishing for another hand when I'm doing my valves!

i would think it would be in the way. i could do my valves in 20 mins, using a stubby flat head and a quarter drive socket. i would loosen the lock nut, slip in feeler, tighen/ loosen screw. then tighten nut and check the clearence again. about 2 or 3 times per adjust i would have to loosen the lock nut again because it walked.

Maybe if the engine was out of the car. But when the engine is in you won't have enough room between the rockers and the inner ear.

How do I know? Well I bought one of those niffy tools years ago. I have never used it.

too bad - it looks handy and cool to have.

-buddies come over and see it sitting in toolbox - "Wow, you need a special tool to adjust your valves? That's cool!"

Don't tell them it's useless, just say, "Yep, gotta be special 'cause it's a Por-sha"

How does it work as to the increments on the handle? Looks like you could screw the valve stem closed then back it off to the desired spacing, hold it then tighten the nut. Am I close?
