Showing how to check the thickness of Ducati Valve shims with a pair of measuring tools I make.

Because of the shape, you can't get a measuring caliper onto the opening shim or the closing shim

[@si1208]

If you have a micrometer, the openers are no problem, but you can't measure the closers accurately without a tool like this

Great sale!

[@anders2mas]

are the half rings in, when you measure?

[@ducatiparts110mb]

No, the tool allows you to measure the shims on their own

I guess there's no way to use a micrometer with your tool set. I bought a fancy digital micrometer before I watched this video. Oh well, now I need to buy a digital caliper. My old Starrett metric dial caliper only measures to 0.01 mm.

Yes, You can use your micrometer in exactly the same way I'm using a caliper.

Maybe the explanation is unclear to me.
I don't see how using these adapters differs from just measuring the shims themselves with a vernier gauge or micrometer?

[@DirkWrightxyz]

The step on the closer is so small that it's hard to measure with either of those.
