    What feeler guages do you guys use

    What feeler guages do you guys use to adjust valves.My Lisle brand ones for cars and trucks wont fit in there.Im trying to avoid spending 25-30 for the motion pro ones.I would like to get one at a local parts store to avoid shipping on a tiny item.Thanx

    I bought a set of flat feeler guages ( Under $8.00 or so ). I then bent the ones I was going to use for adjusting valves to fit into area.

    I just bend mine also, they will still close and flatten back out. Some auto parts stores sell individual ones real cheap.
    Have a good day and ride safe.

    Lisle , K+D, S+K, -----Anything in a blister-Pak will usually say on the package what it includes. If it gets real desperate-- The OLD MAN in the corner house probably has 2 or 3 of them laying on the garage floor. Whichever you choose---Dont spend more than 10 or 12 bucks at most.
    Buy American! Unless your only option is a HARLEY.

    A customer walked in to my shop and Impatiently stated "My car doesnt start, Whats the problem?"I responded with a smile-"Yep that sounds like your problem alright"----
