16 valve adjustment 82 suzuki gs750t

[Guest]

Hello I'm planning on tacklieing the valve adjustment in the near future. Where is the best place to order the cover gasket from. And as far as the actual adjustment tool it's just a square head nut? Thanks in advanced. How long should I expect this job to take for a first timer?

Z-1 enterprises probably has the gasket. OEM gaskets are important for some areas but for the valve cover gasket, aftermarket is fine. I think there is some size deck screw that has a head that fits the square adjuster perfectly. I'll see if I can search it up. Or you can buy the suzuki tool.

Something like this

Be sure to do both valves at the same time or you will be chasing your tail a lot. Doing the singly allows the play in the rocker to affect the valve adjustment from one side to the other. Using a feeler under each adjuster at the same time eliminates a lot of that. Follow the book for torquing the nuts.

Nowhere in the factory service manual does it recommend adjusting both valves that share a rocker arm simultaneously. If there is enough play between the rocker arm and rocker shaft to make a difference then your valve train is worn out. I have adjusted hundreds of valves on GS 16 valve stock and race motors and have had no negative issues whatsoever doing them one at a time. Dar

Hey Kman,

Here's my thread for the valve adjustment on the same bike. I used PartsOutlaw for my OEM gasket.

You'll need a valve tappet set too.

Motion Pro has the specialty tools you'll need, angled feeler gauges and the tool for the adjusting screws, I bought them and made the job way easier. And yeah do both adjustments on the rockers at the same time. No reason not too. And for a newbie, count about 2+ hrs for the first time. I can do it in about 45 minutes now after I get everything off. Oh one other thing, you might want to order a couple of spare lock nuts and adjustment screws, these can go bad in time. they'll tighten up on the threads to the point you can't adjust anything. I keep 4 of each as spares. Had to replace some over the years.

Good advice on the spares MrBill.
