I just ordered it last night and they cancled today. It must be out of stock. Mason45 and Stretch on V4 forum said that the Sears offset 10mm wrench works well and it is 10.00 no shipping. Does anybody know where I can buy that V4 tappet adjust tool 07979-mk30000
TIA Dan
Servicehonda.com shows they have the wrench but they are 38.00

Well sorry fellows. I ended up going to Sears and buying one for 11.00, I also got 3 motion pro feller gauges (1) .003 and (2) .005. They have a brown handle and the blades are bent up on a 45 degree angle. My concern is that the blades are short only 1/2" long. I just purchased 10' of -04 SS hose and all the AN fittings from Aeroquip for 150.00. I purchased enough for two Magnas. Can I bend the banjo fittings without heating them. I have an extra engine with 22,000 miles on it that I am puting in my 84 V40. I plan on adjusting the valves and doing the oil mod to the engine while it is mounted to an engine stand. Can I do a leak down test with out carbs and pipes?
Thanks Dan

Leak down test on a 2-stroke must be done with the intake and exhaust openings plugged, on a 4-stroke I don't see how that would be different. On the leak down test are you checking valves, head gaskets and case seals?
Hi Terry,
How was Waco? I assume you are back home or you took your 4G network with you. I hope you had a great and thankful Thanksgiving.
I was just wondering if it would be easier and smarter to test the engine before installation. I have a compression tester but I know that this is better done installed. From what I read during a leak down test if you hear a hissing sound coming from your exhaust pipe then you have exhaust valves not seating. If you have a breeze coming from your carbs or I guess your air box then you have intake valves not seating or a timing issue. If you have a breeze coming from your oil dip stick hole then you have rings that are worn. Now, since I have a naked motor could I still diagnose this motor by observing any activity at the exhaust and intake ports?
Well, the pics show what appears to be a 1st gen Magna engine, which is, I believe, a four stroke :roll:
It is hard for me to imagine how mounting the engine in the frame would modify any leakage paths, and direct access to the intake and exhaust ports would be a plus, it seems to me.
I loaned a fiber optic probe to Ken (MagnaDaddy) to inspect the cylinders on his CB900 through the spark plug opening. I believe he was successful at this attempt, at any rate he reports it back in action after an extended period in limbo. If you can get your hands on one of these "look into the wall" devices, it might be helpful...
Hey Dan,
Waco was good, thanks for asking! Came back and been under the weather a bit, just started to feel better today.
Yes Lawrence got it right, this is a Four Stroke. :wink:
Leak down test I liken to a 2-stroke where we pressurize or pull a vacuum on the whole motor including the crankcase to locate the purpose of it not running well. So when you said leak-down I was not thinking of a compression test. :P
It would be easier with the motor on the bike so you can kick it over, ah, but you don't have a kick starter. If you can rig something to hold the motor down and connect a battery to the starter that would be easy enough.
