Re: Help with valve springs
i woulndt use the more performance tool, the aluminum is too soft and can leave shavings
this is the one i made to do the valve springs, works great, you can either use a stock rocker arm bolt or a threaded rod with a nut to tighten it down
plus its free

Re: Help with valve springs
I used the MORE performance tool for all my spinrgs EXCEPT the back 4!!! It would not work since the tool would not stay centered over the valve stem (do to the entension needed to get back there), so I could not get the keepers on to save me life.
I used a basic "crank" style spring compressor for the rear 4. It was pretty small, so it fit well. It was actually an old Chrystler valve spring tool, but it fit well.
Good luck.
