SnapGap Valve adjustment Job finally tried

I purchased a SnapGap kit when they came out quite awhile ago as it looked like a pretty interesting method for a quick/precise valve job deal.

My mileage finally required a valve adjustment and that really made it a piece of cake.
I checked the lash with a micrometer on the first 3 but they all came out at .10 so I just went ahead with the rest.

A very efficient/ precise and time saving bit of kit.
I have to say the company support is excellent too.... they sent me an upgraded part without my requesting it...the Torx head for the small screw bits...they also answered a query I had within 15 minutes online.

I've done the valves the old fashioned way but honestly this seems to work better with the seat of the pants and 'ear' test.

I have no affiliation with them at all just a very satisfied and pleased customer... I highly recommend.

Was wondering about using this kit the next time I needed to do valve adjustment.
Based on the previous reports I’d read…and now these comments….. looks like a no brainer…. it’s the way to go.

THANKS GUYS!!
