The valves can be had at oriellys for about 10 dollars a baggie of 8, the tool I got from ebay for about 8 dollars. The orielly baggie would have standard, JRA and 8mm. They also sell a small blister pack of standard cores with caps and their tool for about 5 dollars.

The only port I abhor is the ball loaded one similar kind is also found on some mercedes low side too.
+2. I just do finger tight it plus may be another 1/4 turn at most. Space shuttle system, may be. Auto, No.
