Army, Isn`t it about your bedtime over there? 8:25am here and the sun just got over the tree tops.

I remember that thread where you had all the fits about the rockers being wrong.

Hi Charlie,

Thank you, you're always very helpful.

I actually have the correct adjusting nut wrenches, that's not the problem.

The problem was that I had a stubborn valve where the valve kept turning when I was trying adjust the clearance. That's what the "Valve Spring Hex Cap Holding wrench" is for.

I haven't found anything else that is designed to address the problem I just described. Looks like they are around $50.

Sincerely,

PE
