Feeler gauges

[ajchien]

Im a DIYer looking to adjust valves on my Honda 2.4l.

Regarding feeler gauges ... Should I consider:

Regular straight?
Angled?
Go-no-go variety?

And do brands matter?

Thanks for the input!

(since this *is* GJ, Im guessing the answer might be: get them all!)

Re: Feeper gauges

I don't know much about your engine, but when I did the valves in my Subaru 2.5, the angled gauges came in very handy.

K24 motor? Angled gauges get my vote. Personal preference on B/K series motors.

I vote strait, just get a good brand to ashier accuracy. You can bend them if needed. I uselessly buy the long Precision Brand #19990 gages. They are long and can be cut down if needed.

Go-no go r the way to go when adjusting any sort of valves.

On Hondas, I use the angled gauges. I prefer to unscrew the holder and pull out 4 sizes. An example is on the Accord I just did intake/exhaust was .010 and .012, so I pulled out .010, .011, .012, and .013

I had not seen that set yet. Is there a go-no-go as part of that set? I can't seem to tell by their description.

Angled, straight will not fit.

How many miles on it? And K-series has some what loud valve noise.

155k on the 03 CRV, 135k on the 03 Element. No noises. Just thought it was about time for a DIYer to get around to it. Procrastination, you know.

No go no-go in the set. Need to purchase that separately.

Just get both. On a certain motorcycle I found straight worked on one cylinder and angled on the others

I found Sears plenty good enough for quality. I don't like go/no go, I like to know exactly what it is.

I got a set from matco last year part no. FG275 thinking Id use them on my dirtbike. Broke my shoulder sold the bike and dont plan on another anytime soon and I work in a body shop so have no use for them. Pm me your address and Ill ship them to you. They just sit next to my change cup in my box at work. At least youll put them to good use
