Default Re: Valve Adjusting Micrometer Tool Picture

Looks to me like it measures the distance from the valve seat to the top of the cam follower. With a simple subtraction after measuring the length of the valve, the clearance can be calculated. (and hence how much to grind off)
I wonder it the missing adaptors allow you to use the same gauge to measure the length of the valve.
