Re: Rust again in master cylinder

Re: Setting Valve Lash
I tried using the camera switch too much bounce. I also used the remote starter switch along with the feeler gauge. I found that using P&G technique gives me a better reading without the cable. https://www.google.com/search?q=p%26g+valve+gapper+vintage+adjusting+tool+set&sca_esv=9dd3c420e69a...
