it seems that every 3rd adjuster on my indy 1.6 rockers has an issue with the allen wrench fitting properly...they feel stripped or bigger than the allen wrench...And Yes, i have tried almost 7 or 8 different sets to find one that fits....i am so tired of Indy's Garbage products.. the big ticket items seem to be ok..it's the small details where they have dropped the ball...does anyone sale an Adjuster that uses a larger allen wrench..what about the ones on the HS rockers??? does anyone know what size they are...
Yep I adjusted mine twice and took them out threw them in the trash and got a set from Smith Brothers problem fixed
Exactly which adjuster's, the one's I am getting are the tool steel one's made by Jesel. 
The ones I am speaking of are the ones that came with my Indy rockers {a waste of money]
I cannot comment on those, I know that the Jesel's are a 5/32 hex, at least on the one's that are 3/8-24 threaded cup style adjuster's.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

The newest style H/S adjuster is 3/16 hex adjuster.
I sell Manton , so I dont know about the Smith Bros., but I know of many people very happy with them as well.
I'd at least ditch the ones you have and go with something a bit better, whether it be H/S, Manton or Smith. All will be better than what you have.

I had the smae problem with mine , talked to Russ @ Indy ,with no help , he set it was my tools , I has tried snap-on , matco , etc. Talked to kenny @ INDY & he said they had a wrench and allen set that would work , tried and it did , no more problems. I am sure someone else makes it , and someone here on the board might know who the mfg is , so you can get it from someone else besides RUSS. It cost abot $35.00
