I haven't seen those, but I have one that's even nicer. It's a machinsts dial guage, (Center plunger type) with stand and adapters to mount on top of the valve/rocker arm. You then move the rocker a

(fine instructions deleted) You're joking. Actually, they are timeless. These have been made for over a century, I bet, and they are still made today all over the world. True, the new ones generally

No, I'm not. Yes, I know that *dial guages* are readily available, but not this package. And, yes a regular guage and stand would work, altho it's more awkward. I should have been a bit more explici

Oh. That's all I have ever used. When I had access to one. No it's feeler guages, but I always liked the dial indicator better. Sounds cool. I've never seen one. I actually reinvented the process. Su

Has anyone use one of these tools that lets you dial in the tappet clearance by turning a wheel ? Are they useful / easy to use or is it as easy to use a feeler gauge ? Julian.

Yes, I've got one and like it a lot. Once its calibrated (and they've got calibrations for many cars already listed), its even easier to use than a feeler gauge. One nice thing is that you'll be abl

Its made by Gunson, I believe, the same folks who make the ColourTune and a bunch of other nifty tune up aids. I think that I got this from one of the big Britcar vendors like TRF or Moss, but I real

The Gunson Clik-Adjust (sp?) is a neat toy... it works pretty well once you get used to it. I use about 10 clicks on one car and 15 clicks on the other. On the 15 click car I can get pretty close in
