Valve adjustment tool?
« on: February 17, 2005, 01:08:20 PM »
Hello,  this is my first post on this board. I have a 95 sidekick with the 16v motor. I plan on adjusting the valves but according to the manual they recommend a "special tool". What is this special tool.

Thanks

12mm wrench (8V is 12 mm), a feeler
guage with bent tips and a screwdriver,
I'm sure you'll do fine with these

Ohh, and welcome to the board ;D

Going through the FSM, I would say this is true about most of their "special tools".

Oh, look - you need a left handed 12.7mm 30º offset bifurcated ambihelical hexnut extraction tool.

Hmm, looks like vise-grips will work on that!

I'd bet a bent, open-ended, 12mm wrench that's been well used would work too

Lol, 12.7mm, yeah that sounds like a typical Japanese 'metric' measurement. I get a lot of them at work. 12.7mm, 25.4mm, 6.35mm  ;D ;D
