Hi, sorry to post this question again but nobody responded and I need to
know...
I am told that to adjust hydraulic valves on a straight 6- 235 the engine
must be running, one must hold the tappet adjuster locknut with a spanner
while adjusting the tappet with a screw driver. This seems insanely
difficult to perform on a running engine.
Is there a special tool available that hold the locknut while adjusting the
tappet?
I work on motorcycles and I have a similar tool that I use for synchronizing
carbs, it's a long screw driver inside a section of pipe with a socket on
the end. Has anyone heard of such a tool for adjusting valves?
