Mach VIII Posted September 18, 2020 #1 Posted September 18, 2020 Hello all, Amongst the many other repairs and maintenance items I have been undertaking to get my '89 VR project roadworthy again, I am going to adjust the valves. I inspected them last night and see that I have 5 that are out of spec (tight). I have access to shims (albeit not in a kit); however, I do not have the special tool needed to depress the buckets for removal/replacement of the shims. Is there anyone that has a tool that they would be willing to loan to me, or possibly rent, or even purchase if the price is right? I realize I am a newer member here, but I have been a long-time moderator and active member on the Honda SuperMagna Owner's Group forum, for whatever that may be worth. This bike was meant to be a low-budget project, so spending $50-$60 on a tool that I may only ever use once is kinda steep. I am also planning/hoping to re-use the valve-cover gaskets as they seem to be in good condition. Thanks.
Freebird Posted September 18, 2020 #2 Posted September 18, 2020 I have one that I will loan to you. PM me your address and I'll get it in the mail.
