Special feeler guage?
« on: March 16, 2010, 10:17:56 AM »
For checking valve clearances, will the standard feelers from auto parts stores with the straight blades suffice, or do you need to by the ones with angled tips?  This is for a CB400f, though I imagine it's the same for the larger SOHC/4's.  Thanks!

Its hard to be wrong when you know nothing!
