Review on Enhanced Valve Shim Tool (Motion Pro 🔧 08-0019) for Kawasaki KZ - Turbocharge your SEO by Kyle Collins

This tool should be used on motorcycles; There is no leverage or force to compress the powerful Toyota valve spring! I had to throw it away as a non-biker! I just took the valve cover off, the engine was hot and shut down. Work fast. Rotate the crankshaft to adjust the top dead center of the #1 front piston, and then use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance. Then do the same for #4 TDC, take your measurements and record them. You'll probably find that they're all about to adjust, with two or three overshoots tightened or loosened to .003". It will not damage or affect the performance of the engine during normal driving. A hard, hot ride, yes, tight valve clearance means the valve will overheat as the valve is now held out of the valve seat for an extra fraction of a second (the only way the valve can cool down is through contact with the valve). seat, which is part of the head that has cooling channels) Free play has the opposite effect; The valve doesn't open wide enough to suck in the air/fuel mixture, so power is subpar, which might not be noticeable, but there's no overheating. Now you have peace of mind; just forget it and cap everything without a VC gasket.
