you need to specify whcih type - for OHV or OHC - the latter, especially for 16 vavle engines work on small valves.

I have one for the big vavles but nowhere near to coventrybury.

theres a small chance i may have one of these aswell.. will look later and let you know.

If I do it would be a case of borrowing it though, I dont like selling my specialist stuff

edit: according to the old man I dont anymore, it was one he had borrowed in the first place sorry to disappoint

Alex,

I'd buy one if I was you - they are always handy - try justoffbase.com - they'll sell you a very nice sealey one for little money (less than a machine mart crap one for sure).

Unless you have a drill press. Use that instead!
