Any 4mm wrench will work.

You can find one a Sears -- now that's just a little open end wrench, another good way is to use an old flat head screw driver, get your dremel and cut you a 4mm slot -- you have it and it works great.  :thumbup:

Yes the one from Sears is found in the "Ignition Wrench Set".  It is a very small 4mm wrench but will work.  It is what I used for my first valve adjust.  I did however order one from HDL.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally wornout, shouting..."What a Ride!"

Tie some string to that little sucker just in case you drop it.  :thatwasclose:

Better believe it  :ohwow: that's why the screw driver dremel thingy works, kinda hard to drop a screw driver into the motor.

If it can be dropped, I will drop it and it disappear until I buy a new one.  :redcard: That's just the way it is.  :c

If you drop it in the engine, don't worry about it. Your oil filter should catch it and hold it for you ;D.
