Overhead HELP - Bryanluster1 - 02-17-2019
I’m looking online for tools for an overhead but it keeps bringing up crows feet. I have a 870 ISX and I’m gathering tools to do a overhead. Can someone please direct me in the right path on where to get a 19 and 13mm flare but socket? Is these the correct ones for an 870? I’ve been reading up on hammerheads tools needed and I’m trying to get these. Thanks
Also I’ve been reading up on doing the adjustments myself via Rawze’s YouTube’s and others and it seams pretty knowledgeable and I understand the doing it when the engine is not warmed up.
What kind of things can I look forward to on doing it myself and learning and NOT messing things up. ? Please help and thanks again
Ps - so far I’ve got the feeler gauges and the wrenches on amazon but I travel a lot with tools. Is the needle kind good for this because of vibration or should I get the other long handle dial kind for the 8nm?

I don't know what a flare but socket is but I know you'll need regular sockets and a crows foot.

Some discussions was that crows foot slips so I wasn’t for sure on this. But thanks for the reply

Vibration? Go up a size. There us a 0-30 and a 0-35 cdi available in 3/8. Can use it to set the valve cover.

Bad vibration when I use jakes. I have mounts for motor but I’m waiting till spring so I can yank rad out at the same time then replace front motor mount as new rad is going in. But I’m a new learner on doing things myself and I’m trying to use common sense as they happen. Watching YouTube’s of rawze and if I can get any pointers will be much appreciated.

I was meaning would vibration mess the needle up? Most of my tools run with the truck.

Never thought of that. It comes in a nice case.
