HELP! Need wrench to torque heads
 
Guys,

I'm wrapping up my valve adjustment exercise by torquing the heads. My wrench setup can't reach a couple on the ends. Does anyone have a long, skinny 10mm hex bit that'll fit a 3/8 or 1/2 socket?? Since I found a couple loose I don't want to leave any untouched.

Much appreciated!

Greg,

I have a set of 3/8 long hex bits (including the 10mm). I'll be running around town for the good part of tomorrow, but will be around Mon. if you can wait that long. Let me know.

Thanks Charlie. I'm going to try and wrap this up tomorrow. Failing that we'll get together Monday!

Charlie - I got to the remaining nuts and they're fine. I'll need to find a couple long hex keys for the future.

Greg,

I forgot where I bougt mine, Pep Boys come to mind though. I bought them to remove the fork innards from my old 76 Kawasaki. Dont really like their build thoigh (what do you expect...Pep Boys). The allen/hex portion is held into the socket with a little grub (3mm) screw, and come untorqued quite easily, leaving your tool in the work. Also they separate in the tool box making you sift around for matching tool pieces. Try to buy some that have a tight interference fit.
