Valve Compressor Tool
IPD - 114934
Product Description
Description
With the right tools, adjusting the valves on most 1976 and newer 4 cylinder Volvos is a fairly easy task. We rent the valve shim kits needed and we've also got a time-saving shim release tool to make the job even simpler.
Simply rotate the engine until you get two of the valves where they are at the base circle of the camshaft (not on the pointed part of the lobe). Take your measurements with a feeler gauge then slide the hook tool under the cam, in between the valve buckets. Then rotate it downwards to release the cam pressure on the buckets. From there the shims can easily be removed and replaced!
Don't forget to order a feeler gauge, properly adjusted valves provide optimum performance and economy, and are quieter! For getting into tight areas, our pick set will help you maneuver tiny parts.

Available to Order means the item may not be in our warehouse but is readily available from one or more supplier warehouses. After you order it, we will get it for you ASAP.
Products from major brand names are almost always in stock in the manufacturer’s domestic warehouse. These suppliers have good fill rates, but even if they are out of stock, we may be able to source it from a variety of alternative wholesale sources.
We are at the most a week away from all these warehouses, usually much less. Does that mean we will always have your product available within that window? Honestly, we can't promise that but we’ll do everything we can to get your parts to you in a timely manner.
