LSM Racing Products TQ-100KIT Valve Lash Adjusting Torque Wrench Notes:

• The TQ-100 was designed for aluminum shaft mount rockers because overtightening is the #1 cause of rocker failure. The same concern does not as easily apply to steel stud mount rockers, but the TQ-100 can still be used. On stud mount rockers you torque the set screw in the poly lock, not the adjuster like with shaft mount rockers. In order to use the TQ-100 on stud mount you attach a 3/8" drive, 7/32” hex/Allen bit socket (socket with a hex nub attached) and use a box wrench. No T-handle hex key is involved. Loosen the set screw in the poly lock with the TQ-100 and the 7/32” hex/Allen bit socket. Make your adjustment with a box wrench and then torque down the set screw with the TQ-100.
• We do not recommend using the TQ-100 for the first time “break loose” of the adjuster nut as it is usually over-tightened. Once loose and free, the TQ-100 can then be utilized for loosening the adjusting nut to re-adjust lash.
