Hi Jon, A long shot here, do BMW still do a valve adjusting tool for the M10 engine and if not any ideas are welcome please?

Cheers Mart.

Hello Mart

That is a long shot I have tried to find a part number but cannot come up with one, back in the day all tools were on microfilm
and that is long gone.

One of our very old techs has one in his tool box but there is no part number on it either.

Sorry

That format isn't correct, tools start 80 00 0 , if I use that with the last six part numbers 113 070 which sounds like a tool
part number it does come up as a valve adj tool the part number supersedes to 83 30 0 490 911 but it is now NLA (no longer available)

mart, pelican parts in the US do that tool

https://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/Su ... LT_pg4.htm

might be worth sending them an email see if they would ship to the UK.
i would've thought a man of your skills would be able to knock one up at work?
if you did i'm sure you could sell them on here.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
