Ok, I decided I can adjust the valves myself, seems simple enough. I'm going to get the Honda special tool even though it isn't absolutley necessary, but it'll make life easier. Anyway, now I gotta get a feeler gauge for my 200x. My question is, should I get the kind that are bent at an angle at the end or the completely flat ones? Which will be easier for this application? Thanks.

If your setting your valve clearance I would get the bent ones. I had the straight one and bent it myself. When you bend them they tend to get weak and break easy.

Get bent.

I mean the gauges :welcome:

Or straight ones and bend them to suit.

Check the clearances with a hot engine, so you dont get fooled by an Old Honda engine (hint ;) )

I'm about 4 miles outside of Millersville near Turkey Hill's distribution facility, the town near me is called Conestoga. No I'm not Amish, hahaha. My bro bought a 200x and 200m a few years back and I'm just starting to really really really like them. Now I just sit around thinking about what to fix on it next but money is always a damn problem. I've been asking alot of questions lately because we have a spare 200x engine sitting around and before I go back to school (in Philly) I want to work on it.
