Gunson clickadjust

inspired by the thread on lashpads falling out, does anyone have any experience of the Gunson 'Clickadjust' on an L series engine?

needing less than 3 arms to adjust the lash would be a boon!

That won't work on a L series engine

'cos of the screwdriver adjustment? hmm. shame.

If you use a crows footed socket you can use your torque wrench.

Yep

Setting the valve clearances can be a pain but its a necessary evil and its not like your having to do it every week

George, Is that what's covered in the video/slides you linked in the other thread? (It's blocked on my network, so just checking its worth unblocking!)


& Thanks zbloke.

Yes, I followed that tutorial and read up on it in the FSM.

It's a very satisfying job to do, and as long as you take your time and double check the gaps it's fairly easy. When you use the correct size feeler gauge, you want to feel a slight drag as put it in and out, the best way it was put to me was putting a hot knife into butter.

Thanks George.
ah, ok. it's only helping torque the lock nut up you still need 3 hands. oh well!
