or does it need to be a better one like this?

You might have trouble removing the circlip with the first one.

The second one looks ideal and really easy to use, but that's very over-priced for what it is.

Not worked on an H22 heads myself, but this is the exact one I've used on various engines before now (OHC and push-rod)

There's several of those on ebay atm, that's the cheapest but there are ones ending in a day at £25 with no bids. I have no idea why he's described it as 'vintage', because it isn't that old! :lol:


:? If I could find the damn thing, I'd offer to lend mine to you, but I've looked twice recently and can't locate it :roll:


EDIT: This one looks exactly the same type but with more adjustment, so should be a safer bet (and even cheaper too! :shock: )

That second one Wurly posted is pretty much the same as mine, worked a charm, I think you'd struggle with the smaller single lever type.
