Product Overview

Keep your classic SAAB’s engine running quietly and smoothly with the SAAB 8-Valve Tappet Lifter & Valve Clearance Measuring Tool (Part #839145). Designed specifically for classic 8-valve engines found in the SAAB 90, 99, and 900, this speciality tool makes servicing, removing, and setting valve clearances on bucket-and-shim mechanical tappets straight-forward and accurate.

Attempting valve adjustments or lifter removal without the proper factory-style tool can risk damaging cam lobes, tappet buckets, or valve stems. This purpose-built service tool depresses the valve lifter/bucket safely, allowing quick removal of adjusting shims and easy lifting of the tappets during cylinder head maintenance.
