Thanks Bill. I'm going to order this tool.

Are you gearing up for a valve job serge???

If you are. I want to implore you to look into your tsrm and possibly think twice.

There are like a gazillion small parts in that task and if you loose something onto the floor you may not have an easy time finding it.

So if you do this sweep the floor 1st

.

I say this because I thought about doing my own setup as well till I saw some pics and I knew I couldn't do it.

Food for thought is all.

Bill: You're the man. Please stick around.

That first link is for supra but it doesn’t say which model, may be worth checking first. The one in the second link defiantly does the job, if you can source it in the US. Supramacist you know more than I do, and you respond faster than me, even though I'm 5-7 hours ahead of you. We are already in Monday morning in the UK.

What I meant Bill was don't run off because Andy is running.
I don't agree that I know more than you.

How can you say that? you where whipping my arse on trying to help andy. You were posting before me and everything.

Serge · 05-19-2008, 03:44 AM

Thank you all guys. I was going to do the job by my hands... I'm still thinking about that.

What is it really that you are gearing up to do serge?
You never really stated it outright

Bill,

How about SST 09201-41020 for installation of new oil seals for the valves? Have you seen them somewhere?
Thank you.

Mine where very similar to these Sealy, You need to be very careful when fitting the new seals, I managed to split two of mine. If the head needs to be skimmed by a machine shop I would ask them for a price for re cutting the valves seats, inserting new seals and reset the valve lifter shims, they will also do a pressure test. You may find by the time you’ve bought all the tools; dial gauge micrometers, and the rest you could be halfway towards paying the machine shop to do it.

There’s a good guide HERE for adjusting valve shims.
