Valve Spring Tool (Looks like Rocker Arm)
I believe this is called a Moore valve spring tool. It acts as a rocker arm, and it is made of billet aluminum. You use a 3/8" rachet to apply pressure when compressing the spring. Does anyone use this tool? They are kinda pricey ($120.00) and was wondering if it was worth getting one. I'm not so much concern with the money as I am with it not being better than what I have. Right now were using the 1/4" thick 3 1/2" long 1 1/2" wide with a u-groove cut in on the end to fit on top of the retainer. This works fairly well, but I was looking for something a little faster.

I bought the "Larry Tool" from a member on here, and it has served me well for 3 cam swaps. Well worth the $29 I spent on it. It takes awhile to use and change all 16 springs, but, well, it was only $29
