Anyone ever tried this tool for measuring valve stem height?

Like the title says I am wondering if anyone has tried this tool for measuring the valve stem height in the head.
http://www.silver-seal.com/c=D6rH029...00---1800.html

It says it works for most 4&6 cylinder vehicles and the measurement range should cover the height recommended for most valve springs in our head. But I know that often on this car clearances are very tight on this car so I am wondering if it would even fit. But if it did fit our cars it would definitely make taking those measurements a million times easier than a depth mic and stem height tool. Thanks for the input.

Simply put, No that will not work. The OD of the tool it too big to fit in a 4g style head.

It is designed to work in a OHV set up not a OHC.

It is used to measure valve spring installed height, NOT valve tip height
