Hi guys,

I just wanted to be sure that everyone got their order in for the VAS...

https://rennlist.com/forums/964-forum/469712-valve-adjusting-screwdriver-taking-orders.html

before I go and do the first run... I have a reasonable number of them to make, but fewer than the original "interest" list.. (not surprising...) Just so I don't miss anyone, please make sure if you want one in January, to let me know.

Everyone who has ordered so far will definitely get one the first round.

Thanks.

Yes

 

Do you have room for me to add a 2nd one?

 

Someday -- maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of their lives -- our successors will be swamped by cheap Chinese knock-offs flooding the market w/ fall-apart, 43-degree "9M valve screwdrivers"... and they'll look back at this time w/ envy -- when craftsman-grade 36-degree jewels could be ordered for a song... by paypal.

Here's looking at you, kid.

 

Don't know if I'll ever adjust my own valves, but what the heck, they look pretty cool. I'll take one. Please add me to the list and let me know how to pay.

 

Phew.. I was making them at 36.. glad you set me straight... ;-)

 

Santa came early for me because I needed to do the valves. The tool works at least as well as a feeler gage, based on the cross-checks with a dial indicator. It takes a lot less skill, although you need to take care not to close the gap as the jam nut is tightened.

You will still need a feeler gage for the intake valve behind the PS pump. That one might be reachable if you take the engine tin off on that side, and work it from the bottom.

 

ok, so how do we use them?

Close the valve, fix a starting point with the first pin and turn until you hit the same point with the other pin? that will give the clearance required? Is it that easy?

sorry if there is a thread with photos of how to use it... I did not see it...

Seems like a great tool to own if it is that simple...

 

If you want to take this up a notch, what about posting this on the 911 forum? I don't know if the clearances are the same on a 3.0 or 3.2.

 

I sent you an e-mail - please add me to your list. Thank you.

 

I will get you my Paypal order in tomorrow.

 

Tom,

Post this item on the 911 Forum as those folks can use this same tool,....

 

YUP!

 

If you're still open to supplying another one, I'll jump in and buy one. Let me know where to send the Paypal.

Thanks,
Clay

 

I have been out of town on business the last 2 weeks and missed the link to the paypal site. Anyone have it handy. I was one of the original ones wanting to get this tool. TIA
