Thread: Valve clearance adjustment tools

  1. #1

    Default Valve clearance adjustment tools

    Is it worthwhile to buy these 2 tools (07MAA-PR70110 and 07MAA-PR70120)?



    Apparently they save you a lot of time as adjusting and re-adjusting the 24 clearances is obviously quite a repetitive task and having the right tool helps.

    Opinions?

    Yes, for the rear bank. Try to borrow it from another guy.

    Not too expensive to buy from HUK. From memory about £35-40.
    Cheaper than the US at the current exchange rate.

    I checked this morning and they're over £120 from HUK for the 2.

    Not only that but they have to come from Japan, which takes weeks.

    Any kind soul want to let me hire them for 24hrs?

    Hmmm, recent price change?

    US is about $55 for both.

    Hi, gcon45.

    Instead of asking for two different tools, just buy them as a single set.

    07MAA-PR70100: Wrench set, tappet GBP27.54+VAT

    This is the one I use in Japan and you can save more than GBP100 by not buying them separately.

    HUK price is actually cheaper than getting this set from Japan.

    That's excellent Kaz - thanks!
    I'll give Honda a call with that part number.

    Another thing - is it worthwhile buying the Honda crankshaft pulley tool as well?

    You can buy generic ones that are a lot cheaper than the Honda specific ones.
    Laser tools #3729 (for 45mm pulleys) is about £14 on fleabay and you just need to use a 1/2" breaker bar with it.

    Hi, gcon45.

    If you don’t have the correct tool or huge impact gun, you will struggle to remove the pulley bolt if you have never removed it in the past.

    If your NSX is AT or very early Acura MT model, then you need 50mm HEX at the crank pulley.
    You may already have this tool if you or your mechanics worked on other Honda cars. Most of old Honda models use 50mm HEX.

    If your NSX is MT and not the very early Acura MT model, then you need 45mm HEX.

    I heard from another member (and just saw NSXGB's post above) that other tool manufactures sell similar tools but I have never tried them by myself so can’t tell the ease of use.

    07JAB-0010300: Holder attachment, HEX 45mm. GBP45.40+VAT
    07JAB-0010400: Holder attachment, HEX 50mm. GBP31.97+VAT

    You will also need this handle to hold the attachment unless you have other method.
    07JAB-001020B: Handle GBP44.01+VAT

    These tools are not cheap considering their fairly simple design so you may want to source them from other places such as Amazon, Laser, Sealey, etc.

    Some of the HEX attachment tools have square opening which allows you to use your breaker bar as the handle (as in NSXGB's post).
    Again, I have never used these non-Honda ones so not sure about the fitment.
