    R3 Valve adjustment tool

    I made one and it does work. It requires a bit of finesse to make it work. If you have to replace more than one or two shims it would be easier to remove the cams. With the tool you can only remove one shim at a time. If you rotate the engine with a shim removed it breaks the top of the...

    Windshield Brackets
