Tappet Adjuster tool...any good?
Clem2112:
Bought a "genuine" Honda tappet adjuster many years ago.
No spanner part to loosen/tighten the locknut, just a square drive to suit the tappet with a small plastic handwheel. Used with a cranked 8mm ring spanner this seems to work ok.
I always have to back off the adjustment a small amount ( from .002") when tightening the locknut as the set gap closes slightly despite resisting the torque with the adjuster tool.
I guess the fancy version works like the old SPQR tappet tool to make life easier?

I bought the DS tool around five years ago and, quite honestly, rarely if ever use it. The tool itself is just too bulky to fit easily within the access hole. I still prefer to use a screwdriver and cranked ring spanner!

Hmm... I've never seen the adjusters... so one tool mentioned here is slotted, like the head of a screw? And the other is a screwdriver? They can't both work, can they? And the tool in the DS photo shows neither? I guess more research is needed... :-\

How do members get so confused ! The 400 has the tappets and the tool that i listed is used :o Some other SOHC's have a different tappet that all is required is a flat screwdriver ;)
