Forgot to mention, YES, they do make socket and screw driver tools for
setting the valves, but seein' how most new cars don't have this set-up
anymore, may be harder to find the tool. Again look on the Inliner's site
for tool reccomendations and look at vendor sites listed at stovebolt page.
Could do a tool search for Lisle brand tools, they have lots of odd tools.
