[SEL] valve spanner wrenches

[JIM KIRKES]

I agree witrh brent, in the US they would have been called 
tappet wrenches.  Long slender open end wreches.  It took 
three of these to make the addjustment, one for the jam nuts 
and one fro the tappet it's self.  Holding all three 
wrenches along with a feeler gauge took a lot of patience 
and dexterity.

Valve spanner wrenchs sound like spanners for making 
adjustments to the
valve gap rather than lapping valves ? brentnz
