Setting valve clearances

(1/1)

bobv7:
Does anyone remember a technique for setting the valve clearances by using the adjusters like a vernier gauge; that is, so many turns equals so many thou? I used to have that set up on my old Thruxton Bonne but I think I got those adjuster from the US and they had socket heads not slots.

Just a thought as I can't find my old ground down feeler gauges that fitted nicely in the rather small Honda access holes.

One full turn is equal to 40 thou(1mm)

Thank you for that Bryan, I had never heard that one before, very useful.

Cheers
