Does anyone in the maryland or northern virginia have a valve spring compressor tool that they could lend me for a day or two?

 

The universal one you can get from autozone? NOT universal. Make sure you're getting your hands on the one that bolts to the head or w/e.

 

I have the mac daddy snap on one. Im out in the winchester,va area. Have used this a ton of times on DSM's.

 

Dang ;/ that is a hike for me.. thanks for the offer man. I appreciate it...





And i heard the one from autozone is junk and wont work correctly unless i was misinformed

 

Uppp

 

the autozone one will work if you pull the head, and make a custom "tool". Basically we took a 3/8" deepwell, cut out two chunks so that we could get tools in it, and it worked.

think the part new only costs like 50 bucks.

 

Def not pulling the head... im doing it with the head intact

Just buy that and your done. I know we had one at LaScuola when I worked there, tool is awesome and definitely worth the money.

Either way your also going to need a leak-down tester to be able to apply air pressure to the cylinders so the valves don't fall.

 

Yeah I had one here at my house but cant find it so i guess im going to have to buy a new one or rent one for just the extension on it.

 

That sucks, and you know it's only when your looking for a tool that you can't find it lol. GL

 

Bobster.. you live in MD .. you should help me if you have some spare time

 

I'd be glad to help out, it's not too hard to do, just time consuming. Send me a PM if you need anything
