Good Time to Adjust Valves?

Spare time on your hands?

Although it may take only 1 min. 10 sec. to adjust each valve -- even one handed, this might be a good time to adjust your valves.

Some reviews:

“Brad, I have 2 911's a 79 with a 3.2 and weber carbs and a turbo look 82 with an 88 3.2 motor. I did the 82 last year with Snapgap and was totally impressed very easy to use, its time to do the 79 now and Snapgap is the only way to do it now that I have used it.”

"Just did a 100,000 mile tune-up on my 1991 964 C4 and did the valve adjustment with the SnapGap kit. It's foolproof, fast, and easy to use. Total time to complete the valve job once the valve covers were off was about 15 minutes.

The math behind how it works is spot-on with a very accurate way to obtain the 0.1 mm gap. Brad is the owner of SnapGap and couldn't have been more helpful. Amazing customer service."

"This is a great tool and makes doing valve adjustments a breeze. No figuring or worrying if you have the valves adjusted correctly. (Too tight---Too Loose) The savings over taking it to a shop makes it a worthwhile tool."

"I helped test out this system in its early version and it worked perfect. I did it with the engine in the car with no clearance issues whatsoever.

I’ve done my 911 valve adjustments using a few different tools and this method is foolproof. Especially true if your elephant feet are worn or sloppy."


"I adjusted the valves using the SnapGap system that I decided to try out (pretty cool method and it's dead-nuts on gap)."

Very cool.
Does this mean you now also sell razor blades? Collars and shims?
