Any issues w/ Vinci tool and AFR225s or PP golds? Am I just a complete moron or does anyone know if there are fitment issues when using the Vinci Tool on an AFR225 head with PP Gold springs?
My tool seemed to be too fat (haha, I hear that often
) to fit between the springs. It would also not seat all the way down, even after I removed the springs. It looks like the valve cover screw hole boss has too big of an OD or the tool's ID is too small.
Just wondering if its me working in the garage too late or if anyone else has had any issues like this.

Vinci uses this tool all the time and they do a lot of work with AFR heads as well. I would give Joe or Roger a call when they open this morning. I used the tool on my stock heads with Crane springs without issue, but it was a snug fit with the Crane duals. If the springs you are removing are a larger diameter, then there could conceivably be an issue.
