SnapGap valve clearance tool: any feedback?


Panasonic

Recommended Posts

it reminds me of Ford, making a ultra complex workshop tool to remove a Crankcase oil seal.The salesman was horrified by the reply, that a old screwdriver did a better job.

  The other Tappet tool mentioned in the link,Frost/Gunson  is unsuitable for 911`s, this is for example A series Minis, where the push rod is not angled relative  to the adjuster.

  The proper Porsche tappet tool, is inexpensive , ensure the job is done correctly.

Snapgap, bought it and used it. Great product and I found it foolproof in use, especially in the cramped confines of my small garage and basic home mechanic tools. There's enough in the kit to do three complete valve jobs......I liked it and my sc was noticeably better running afterwards.

Bought the Snapgap kit last year. Just got round to using it. As previous comment, easy to use and relatively foolproof. Certainly doesn't feel as hit and miss as using the old feeler gauges when doing the job laying on your back, with a crick in your neck..
