Valve Shim Tool?

If what I have is what you're after then you're more than welcome to borrow. I bought it over a year ago knowing they were rocking horse shit to find, but haven't used it and might never, but I bought it for peace of mind and a rainy day.

 

Suppose you need to figure out if what I have is the right thing. I'll see if I can find the original thread on Supraforums and see if it has pics. I'm not living at my mums so can't take pics.

OK. The tools I have are the ones from this guy in his picture-guide for the job:

See photos 25 (black plastic thing), and 29 (weird long thing). They are what I and a few others have.

 

Somebody should take a mirror of those photos and maybe work it in with TLicense's guide (can't remember if Tony had pictures. It was Tony wasn't it?)

I mean the tool for pressing down on the shim bucket to gain enough space to get the shim out with the cam in situ.

 

Sorry mate. When I did mine, I didn't think of it as being much of a problem to whip the cams out and do the belt etc while I'm at it.

 

If it's been together long enough for the shims to be worn out of tolerance, it might be worth thinking about a new belt anyway?
