Guys,

I have an 06 Tiger w/19K miles and it needs a valve adjustment! I would take it to the local dealer but I just lost my job and can't spend the money.

I need advice and a valve shim tool and advice; can anyone offer some help?

Fe Man,

It's a relatively easy job if you are mechanically minded. Have you got the Haynes Manual and are you mechanically minded ??

It can be done without the shim tool as well if you are prepared to take the cam shafts off ??

There's a good shim tool available from Mustang of this parish (and elsewhere).

If your shims are on top of the buckets as my '02 has, you don't need to remove the cams. You can get the shims out by removing the bearing caps and lifting the cams slightly without disturbing the cam chain.

Good luck with the job hunting.
