buy the straight ones and bend em or buy the bent feeler gauges and set your valfs.:)

when you set them,set them so the feeler gauges are "tight" in the valve. This will give you the most accurate reading. :D i had mine loose and it ran worse then before i did it.... so i did it again, did the above way it ran mucho better.......fyi....also get a FSM (factory service manual) if you dont have one already.....it will be the best mod for your sanity and your machine:cool:

you can buy one from honda that has the correct measurements for a stock 400ex. they are like $5 and work great.

i probably have a new one laying around if you need it. we use a different set since we work with aftermarket cams etc
