Hi All,

I don't post often but I have a question. I'm getting ready to check my valve clearance. I would like to buy a detensioner from Pap but I can't seem to reach him. Does anyone know if he still makes the tool or how to get in touch with him?

Thanks,

Lloyd, Did you know that the windup spring is as easy to unwind
as winding a pocket watch? A nail with a flat blade (screw driver)
with a piece of fuel line (rubber) pressed on to use as a grip. It will
take longer to find a nail and a piece of hose than it takes to make
this tool.

Apply side force to nail with a bungy or several rubber bands
and a " S " hook made from wire ( coat hanger) to prevent turning.

You will be on the floor if you do not have a MC jack --lift.
