Feeler Gauges for Motorcycle Valves?

03/23/2006 3:58 PM

ROBERT FENN writes:
Is there such a thing as some kind of digital, laser, etc. feeler gauge that can be used to measure valve clearance in an automobile or motorcycle engine? The feeler gauges made of thin metal bend. Measurement of valve gap is very subjective, based on experience. Some kind of laser (or other electronic) measurement might be much more accurate. Is there such a thing???

Feeler gauge

The feeler gauge takes the slack out of the vlave actuation components assuring that the cam is touching the lifter is touching the pushrod is touching the rocker arm is touching the valve stem. Laser micrometers are widely used to measure part dimensions but would not be practical for valve lash adjustment.

Never heard of anything like that...

what issue are you having using regular feeler gauges? I've never had a problem but I'm curious about the specifics of your issue.
