Valve Adjustment Tool

[Simon12]

Hi,

I don't suppose anyone knows where to get hold of the toyota/lexus valve adjustment tool (at a sensible price) or whether it's possible to borrow/rent one from somewhere?

The only one I could find in the UK was snap-on but they haven't got it in stock :(

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Here you go, picture attached.

I've tried the time honoured technique of a lever to depress the valve springs and a home bodged holding tool for the edge of the valve lifter but it really is a total pig like this. The holder I've made either gets in the way of the shim on removal or it slips of the side of the lifter.

Prices I've received are: 111 pounds odd for the Lexus tool, half that from snap on. There are some in the US but after shipping it works out no cheaper than the snap-on tool and I'd rather spend money on quality than shipping.

Seriously need to do the job as one exhaust valve is only at 0.05mm and should be minimum 0.25mm

Any one?
