valve lash

Posted by waynej On 2013/9/23 19:38:51

I'm performing a valve job on my 51 Packard Patrician 400 with hydraulic valve lifters and see that there is special tool used when checking the lash clearance. This tool fits on top of the tappet and is listed as tool J2553 or J4540. Is there an alternative method as I don't have this tool? Does anyone know the size specs of this tool? Thanks Wayne
