Using the torque wrench WILL only tighten the adjustment nipple you so carefully set. BAD MOJO! There is a tool you can obtain, which is a wrench-head attached to 1/4" ratchet-head...which attaches to your torque wrench, but to me that's getting carried away. Just FIRMLY tighten with the wrench. I've never had a problem.

Agreed - I had to refer to the 'ol Motocheez video to just figure out how to get to them, and which version I have lol I have the SOHC setup, no push rods. Same with the spoke torque wrench IMHO; it's 80 f'n dollars.. My 15 dollar
Amazon special does just as good
does what it's supposed to!
The tool I need I believe would just be a Honda CRF230 valve lash wrench..... if I could find one. Advanced Auto has some online only - standard sizing too. Need the metric 4mm square bit and a 10mm hex. Till then though - I should be good for another 500mi. I believe.. someone said 500mi. for a valve maintenance schedule; I think.. The manual has nothing for valve lash adjustments either.
