42579, New tool!
Posted by bullettdsm, Dec-13-09 06:50 AM
So you guys get excited about the "bling" you get, well I get excited about the new tools I get.

I gave my buddy (who makes the solid mounts) a little design and some measurements and this is what he made me;



Yeah, I know, just a valve spring compressor, but so much easier and quicker. And since I had three heads in the queue, I was able to bang them out quick. Also a redesigned handle should allow it to be used in the car.

Yay!

Where was this when I was doing my valve springs a few weeks ago?

If they can be replicated for a reasonable $ amount I might be interested.

My buddy did it just for the sake of helping out (and helping himself out. He made one for himself as well). Too much material to be cost effective.

And this one just needs slight modifications to do the 4g63 heads (that's what Steve made for himself). Just a notch here and a couple of slots there and I will be doing my 4g63 heads as well.

Nice, I'm thinking thumb screw for the top (as opposed to the bolt). Pretty sure that the power needed to screw down wo......wait, why not air for the bolt? Nevermind.
