Post by: mp183 on August 04, 2005, 04:26:48 PM
Anyone want to part with their valve shim tool?

Is this the one?
Second one down.

Yep, that's the one.  But you can apparently get the same tool from JC Whitney (http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10111&storeId=10101&sku=ZX060159Y) (Part # ZX060159Y) for a few bucks cheaper.  Thanks to Rema1000 for the hint (http://gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=91335#91335).

The picture on the JC Whitney page doesn't match the actual tool though, and Rema didn't say he actually bought one.  Has anyone ordered this tool and found it to be the same as the one in the valve toolkits (http://www.bbburma.net/MiscFotos/100_0330_MotionProValveSpringCompressor.jpg)?

Unfortunatley, the picture shows a selection of bucket depressors, I use the two on the right, in conjunction with each other (there's no other way), which are for Kawasaki, but I've used them on Yamahas, and can be used on almost every make.
