well the first one is easy, for valve clearance checking all you'll need is a set of feeler gauges, just about any car place will have them, just be aware they come in metric or imperial.

the second is more a case of how much you're going to use it

something for just the odd chain change will be £40-50, have a look here http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/Bike..._Tools_97.html

however if you're looking for something more and are going to be doing alot of them then look at the "Whale" brand, more expensive but it's what the pros use.

Cheers Mark.
