mutantZ Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Looking for a set for my car, anyone have any recommends besides craftsman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Unless your wanting to spend a bunch of money just buy ones from a parts store. They aren't that special. Now if you do alot of valve adjustments like I do and get fed up with fanning out the feeler gauges to find the right size you buy a set like this. They come in a vinyl pouch and each one has its own spot. Much faster. But alot of money to adjust the valves on your L6 every few years. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5XU51-Feeler-Gage-Set-20-PC-/381017937215?hash=item58b670553f:g:HwkAAOSwxp9W2O4Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutantZ Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks guys, wasn't sure if it was one of those tools I should spend a little extra for. I'm just using it for my own valve adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 First, buy a good micrometer so you can check the feeler gauges at the store. You might be surprised at what you find. Feeler gauges also wear out so you need to check them periodically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutantZ Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Ah good to know John. Do you have any recommendations on a micrometer? Or any other measuring tool brand? I've been looking for a good set. The names I keep seeing are Mitutoyo, Starrets, and B&S. Prices are a bit steep for my uses, but I'd prefer a tool that actually worked.

StanleySlater Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Yes, johnc is right. You must first buy micrometer. It will help you a lot in your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
