No, I'm not. Yes, I know that *dial guages* are readily available, but not
this package. And, yes a regular guage and stand would work, altho it's more
awkward.
I should have been a bit more explicit- It's the custom stand and adapters
that make this setup nice. It's basicly an open sided cylinder, that mounts
right on top of the valve, with a spring loaded clamp. No need to find a
nearby flat area. The adapters are differnet thickness baseplates, to match to
your valve diameter, and rocker height.
I think it's called a P & G Valve Gapper or some such.
