Tools needed for valve adjustment
« on: June 15, 2017, 02:07:44 PM »
Just checking with you guys
I'm doing the valve adjustment for the first time with a friend of mine who has airheads
It's a 02 California Stone, I have. 5/16 and 11 mm sockets, feeler gauges and the Allen needed for cover
Also got gaskets from Harpers. Is that all I need

spark plug socket way easier to spin the motor with the plugs out
I think a   22MM Socket for the crank to turn motor over, anti seize for spark plugs.

beer if so inclined

That's a given.

I don't think a socket is the right tool here, an 11 mm ring spanner is better for the lock nut.  The inner screw varies with the model of Goose, I use a 4" crescent (5mm allen key for the Griso).
