where to get a stethoscope(sp?) for rocker adjustments?
I think this would be a big help for ppl with lt's and loud exhaust, not to mention a big cam. I'm trying to get mine right on my LE2 setup but cant seem to get it right.

You might try and use a long screwdriver. Put the flat end on the valve cover and put your ear up against the end of the handle. You'd be surprised how well it works in narrowing down a noise!

I got mine from Jeg's or Summit (I forget now). It was only like $6.00 and it works great. It is an automotive stethascope, not one like a doctor would use.

The scopes are fine for listening through the valve covers, etc., but why don't you adjust the rockers with the engine off? JMHO

I've seen them at Sears. You could also use a long screwdriver and stick your ear to the end of it which works just as good. Be careful not to scratch your valve covers though if they are nice.
