Went to adjust the valves yesterday.

What is the easiest way to get the gauge in correctly. Come in from the top, bottom or sides?

I had a lot of trouble finding the gap between the adjuster and valve.

Resorted to loosening the adjuster to get the tool properly placed.

To make matters worse the tool was defective. One of the little nut/bolts that hold the feeler gauge on was stripped and popped off. Found both pieces so I know they are not in the motor.

I think it was loose from the start which did not help things. Not sure if I was feeling drag or the feeler moving on the tool. Have to redo #1 at least.

Also my fan pulley nut, Bently says it's a 23mm but my 23 does not fit, looks to be more like a 24.

Car is an 84 Carrera.

Thx
