Gunson's products always sound too good to be true. I used to have a Colortune that I couldn't effectively use, but their are those that swear by it. I loved using a borrowed Ezi-bleed!!!

Enter the Clickadjust. For a mere $50, it promises hassle free and very fast valve adjustment. I have seen several say it is great, and a couple say its a waste of money.

I'll add a poll, but I really would like to see comments as I have to do adjust the valves on the Healey in the next week or so.

What are your opinions?

Here is a description http://www.mgcars.org.uk/MG_Elec-Tech/Clikadjust_2.html
I think a Clickadjust is...

Hi,

Did not cast a vote as I have one and have neutral feelings about using it. In my case, I tried it and somewhat liked it however over time I've drifted back to the old way. In fact, I'd even forgotten I own the thing until I read your message above. That said, I can see where it has potential, but it's not for me.

I'm intrigued by the Clickadjust, but I don't know anybody with one. I had a bad experience with the EZ-Bleed, however: Nobody told me that I had to deflate my spare!

For a one time valve adjustment in a year or more, save your money. If you are going into it on a full time basis it will save your hands a few nicks and a bit of time. Wayne

I have one that I got from a friend of mine at a local show & shine for $20. Seems like it might work ok but I haven't had to adjust my tappets yet but plan on trying it during my next tune-up.

Richeous... Barney Gaylord is the man. Consistently good advice from a person that tells you how to do something and then ( Get This ) ...Tells you why! This is where my father screwed up. Every time he failed to mention why not to do it some other way ...something usually broke.

Yea... I buy all parts in lots of 3. That way I can break 1, install 1 & have one as a spare. I can't imagine using a part that hasn't been properly tested, structurally.
