Don’t give in to the hate Steve. Sheath that light saber. (Vzzzt…makes audible lightsaber sheathing sound) (Sorry, channeling my inner Obi). Funny tho how they actually have a motto or slogan that goes, “don’t do evil”.
Now, before I head down any other particular rabbit holes I wonder if you would want to try the tool I made to adjust the valve lash. It’s easy to make one. It works with the same principle as the factory tool. It attaches to the head and I used the cam to depress the bucket and then exactly in the same manner as the FT you complete the job.
I could use the type of feedback that you, one that I get the sense would have zero compunction in telling me, that this tool is SHT! I HATE IT!!
But, and in order to not run afoul of rules here I am not, yet, marketing said tool. I’m doing R&D and will be polishing up my prototype on 5 other KZ/GPZ heads first.
I can PM a pic of it on the head and you’ll be able to see it if you’d like. I think $87 bucks for a factory tool is off putting but the $10 tool interests me not so I cobbed it together from stuff in the shop and it worked well with very few hitches and no damage to head, which from what I read can occur with the factory tool. I like the doctors code, “first, do no harm”.
