Most people use tools and gages they bought at the auto parts store.

I use a set of craftsman metric ignition wrenches and a feeler gauge for my engines.

Here are the stock numbers and list prices of the parts you asked about:

OSMG6334 72200060 GAUGES TOOLS 4-STROKE $10.99

These parts can be ordered through any hobby retailer who sells O.S. Max engines and accessories.

You don't need special tools for adjusting the valves on these engines.

A pair of ignition pliars (for the adjuster locknut) and a small screwdriver, that fits, is all you need.

Bring the appropriate rocker arm to its highest position and adjust the screw in the rocker arm so that there is just some light visible between the pushrod and the rocker arm, then double it. Tight up the nut and you are home free.

On the other hand, if you are an obsessive/compulsive kind of guy, by all means buy the tools with OS stamped/engraved/painted on them, or you won't get a single nights sleep until you do.

I'm sure that all of the anal retentive types will chew me out over this response, but it is the truth. Our engines just aren't that critical.

Fire suit on, earplugs inserted. <G>

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm going the Craftsman ignition wrench route.
