Tools & Fabrication - Anyone needing a valve spring tool?

I am offering an easy to use valve spring install/remove tool. The tool comes with an internal socket head stud for easy of wrenching and a grade 8 nut.

I currently have plenty of tools in stock. (02/02/05)

Unfortunately I have had to increase the shipping cost to $10 so that all tools will go out with tracking. This is resulatant in the number of guys reporting their tool lost in shippiing. Sorry for the additional cost! Total shipped is now $40.00.

Following are pics of the tool and with the tool installed on head.

Nice and simple setup, I like it! And, I also know how specific you are about the tools you use Larry, and how well they work. So, I think I'll need one :D

Gotta move this thread to the tools forum, but I'll leave a pointer in the internal forum.

Tony

I would be in too.

Count me in. I sent a PM.

Hey, I like that idea... I have some scrap in the garage, I'm gonna ghetto one up and see how it works.. :D

Now THAT's a slick tool for our limited-clearance applications!

I received your email and you are down for one.

I'm in. Info sent...

I guess it's not obvious to me how it works. You just screw down that nut to compress the spring? Counldn't you end up breaking that stud?

I guess it's not obvious to me how it works. You just screw down that nut to compress the spring? Counldn't you end up breaking that stud?


The spring will compress long before the stud breaks or the threads fail. The threads and rocker bolt hold the spring load at max rpm and full lift. That's a lot more load than required to just compress the spring enough to get the keepers out.

I'm in....

this is a good tool and easy to use i made my own and it worked awesome.

I have a question. The stud screws down in the rocker arm bolt hole and bottoms out then the nut us applied to apply the pressure. Any concern with the stud doing damage to the head at the bottom of the bolt hole? Looks like a great tool! Thanks Larry!

I don't know how thick the head is beyond the hole but you don't have to torque the stud in but hand tight. I couldn't imagine torquing the stud so tight it breaks through the head. I did mine and no damage at all.

If you mean pulling the threads out when wrenching the nut then no to that too. The loads at max rpm full valve lift is greater than required to compress the sping just far enough to remove the keepers.

When you start cranking on the nut the stud will also tighten in the hole. I guess my question is will the stud stop trying to tighten itself when the bottom is reached or will it dig down as you tighten the nut down on it. Thanks.

I fabbed one of these up in the garage tonight, and tested it out on a motor sitting on the stand. I'll say this, if you'll ever change valve springs on an LS1, PICK ONE UP !!! Larry's price of $25 is more than worth it, trust me. I wish I had an inch/lb torque wrench to measure the torque needed, because when testing with my regular torque wrench I put it at the minimum 15lb/ft. and it never clicked. I used a regular rocker bolt on mine (can you say ghetto?) and that worked fine. Larry's setup is even better, with the stud.

Like Brian has said in the previous reply, it takes very little torque on the nut to turn it. A little lub on the bracket/nut/threads will make it turn even easier.

The stud will not "dig down as you tighten". At least it did not for me.

That is what I needed! Thanks Larry and Brian! I may try to fab one up, but will probably just pick up one of Larrys. Being the tight wade I am though I gotta try first! :D

How long would it take you to get one of these to me? I need one ASAP so i can get my car going again, this would save me $150 in labor at a shop.
Maybe you can rush one out to me?

thanks

I have the one I used on my engine that I could send you. The stud is 1/4" shorter than the one I will be supplying with the new batch but it worked with my 26918 springs.

The new batch should be ready to ship next week.

Has anyone tried with with double springs, such as REV or the new Crane springs?

Has anyone tried with with double springs, such as REV or the new Crane springs?



I will on Tuesday, i made mine at home, same design

humanoid i have used one i made on the dual rev springs this last weekend 9/6. i had a broke spring and i used the tool and it worked fine. the difference in the one i made is that i used a longer metric bolt that i got from home depot instead of a stud. once you get in a groove it does not take long at all to change all the springs especialy with air tools.

Using a bolt can be a dangerous situation. If you start applying load before you have enough thread engagement the threads could strip in the head. I haven't seen many bolts with enough threads to have enough thread to engage and then travel far enough to install the keepers. Particularly when installing a tall free length spring. Remember you are screwing into aluminum.

It will work with a longer bolt, I did it. I made one of these tools for my cam/spring swap and bought a bolt about 3 inches long, and also bought a nut/washer for it. You just turn the nut all the way to the top of the bolt head with the washer under the nut, then tighten the bolt in the rocker hole, and tighten the nut down to compress the spring. That way if you're worried about turning the bolt while you turn the nut, you can just use a ratchet/wrench to hold the bolt head while you turn the nut. It's a little more work, but I couldn't find any studs in the amount of time I had. Tool worked great, finished all 16 springs in about 4 1/2 hours. :D

Tools are ready to go out. First batch will ship today. I'm supplying a 5/32" socket head stud. This will make things go a lot faster.

http://www.mustangmods.com/data/440/valvesprgtl.jpg

Let me know if any of you have any problems or need help.

I just bought a T1 cam and will be needing an install tool and this sounds like an ideal tool for my garage. I will send you an email Larry.

Derek

Of the 23 people that agreed to buy the tool when they were manufactured, I have only heard from 13 so far.

Would like to hear from the 10 of you that committed to buying the tool and have not contacted me. Please let me know if you still want it?

I made one of these and used it on a full set of crane doubles. Works GREAT! Couldn't be any easier. I made my stud out of 8mm threaded rod (pretty soft stuff) and the stud made it through all 16 springs although I'll need to cut a new one for next time. Whatever Larry is supplying is probably much better.

This thing looks great, top quality in person. Thanks Larry for setting this up, it will be a permanent addition to my LS1 toolbox. I'm sure I'll use it many times :D

The stud I'm supplying is strong and hard like an Allen bolt. It should last for many spring replacements as long as a touch of lubricant is used on the threads. The threads and nut mating surface on the tool should be lubricated. My stud also has a socket head so wrenching it into the head is a snap.

Glad the one you made worked out so well. Hopefully mine will work as well!

Thanks Tony. I think you will find it is a little better quality than the average can make in his garage.

For the cheap price and quality of this kit, I wouldn't even waste my time trying to make one in the garage. lol

I agree. I don't have the tools to fabricate one, so I got Larry's. For anyone who has changed springs on a LS1 F-body, this simple but effective tool is worth it's weight in gold.

Yeah that's fine if you didn't need it last week! ;) 20 seconds with the cutting torch, 30 seconds with the grinder, and a minute at the drill press....viola.... :chug:

What I can't figure is all these guys using tools where you have to maintain leverage on a ratchet while you fumble with the valve locks, etc.... you almost want to put them out of their misery! :D

Got mine Larry and it looks like a quality piece and cant wait to use it.....

Got mine Larry and it looks like a quality piece and cant wait to use it.....


Great! Hope it works well for you.

Anybody used theirs yet?

This is well worth it for anyone looking at this.I made 2 a while ago.1 that fit 918's tight and 1 for duals.I use a 2 1/2 long bolt and have used it on many cars without any thread damage.They work excellent on single or dual springs.Now it takes me less than 1.5 hours to do springs.

Only other thing you should add to this kit is a hose that screws into the plug hole so you can pump the cylinder up.Now that would be a complete spring changing kit.

(I use a compression checker hose with the valve removed)

With the recent rash of broken bolts in the head I ask how strong the stud is. I've read few post about the rocker bolt breaking due to it side loading as it compress's the spring along with water pump bolts. How much strong/better is the provided stud. Thanks for the info Larry!

John

looks like a great tool.
I would use a bolt with a nut on it and hold the bolt with one wrent and turn the nut, this way you get all the threads in the hole and no concern about bottoming it out in the head

The stud I supply has a very high tensil strength. It's an Allen bolt. They are very strong. As long a you run the stud down all the way into the head threads before attempting to remove the spring you won't have a problem.

Has anybody had a problem with the stud I supply? I have shipped out quite a few now and have not heard of any problems.

Larry, I sent a check a few weeks ago? Did it arrive? If not I'll cancel the check and paypal you the $$

Levi,

I emailed you.

All tools are sold. If we can get together a half dozen or so I will place another order.

Thanks!

Larry I PM'd ya, I want one if you get another run going.

I'll put you on the list for another run. You are the first so far.

thanks, have you tried posting this on LS1.com also?

I got the last one! Thanks Larry! I'll post feedback after I install a set of 918's with it.

John

I'll take one. Let me know when/where to PayPal.

Larry sorry if I missed this, but does this tool work with dual springs?

Larry sorry if I missed this, but does this tool work with dual springs?
This tool should work with any set of springs.

I have one and I've used it 2X. This thing is AWESOME for taking ANY spring off. Duals, singles, it doesn't matter. It was easier to put single springs back on vs. double, but I may not have had it perfectly aligned. It makes the back 4 cylinders on an F-body a breeze! Well worth $25. The only upgrade I would advise getting is a better nut. When using this tool to remove double springs, it seemed that the nut was a little soft so a trip to home depot solved the problem. Otherwise an awesome tool!

Ramair346,

Thanks for bringing the nut problem to my attention. The nuts supplied were grade 5. I will supply grade 8 the next go around. Even with grade 8 the threads will need lubricant for longevity.

Put me down for one please.

I'm in as well let me know when they are ready I'll email you too! Thanks,

Bobby

I have a second batch of valve spring tools available.

Same price, $25 plus $5 shipping.

I can accept Paypal. larry98@ev1.net

send me the invoice again, larry! lprocter@hotmail.com

You have pm !! :)

I'm almost tempted to grab another one because this thing works so well. It's great to see someone finally sack up and bring a high quality reasonably priced tool to this platform.

Thanks for the compliment!

Joe,

I sent you an email.

Worked GREAT! Thanks for the great product Larry! Took 2 hours taking breaks and watching football games! :D

Just ordered mine! It should make swapping the G5X-2 in my bro's 00 WS6 a cinch. Will provide feedback after using it.

i think ill order one next paycheck

Thanks Larry! I got mine today. It's alot better quality than the tools that come with the Kent Moore LS1 tool kit! :judge:

You da man!

Thanks Larry! I got mine today. It's alot better quality than the tools that come with the Kent Moore LS1 tool kit! :judge:

They got it to you pretty quick. I shipped it Friday.

Thanks! I'm glad you like the quality. I know you will like the way it works!

I got mine today, it's kick ass!

My only suggestion is to round of the the corners at the back of it. It'd make it cooler looking :D

We sure want your tool to look "cool". Send that baby back with a $50 bill and I'll round it off for you! LOL!

Glad you got it Levi. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks, Larry! ;) You should offer them in powdercoated colors to match the cars ;) LOL

Looks like I got to the party late. :bang: When will you have more of these ready? I'll take one if you can get it to me in three weeks or less.

I've become a master with this tool. It will swap out any springs whether they are single or duals. With a stubby ratchet, this job can be done in a few hours. It is not impossible to lose a couple of valve locks in the process though. I did the swap on my 99 Z28 and lost 3. This was my first swap. I swapped them out again on my car and lost none. Then I did a swapp on a 00 WS6 and lost none. I guess it comes with practice. I used the TDC method everytime with hand tools.

One suggestion though. Shorten the legs of the tool so that when the spring is compressed, it is compressed more evenly instead of putting all of the pressure on the outside of the spring. Great idea Larry. Come up with some more genius LS1 tools.

dragonZ28,

Glad you like the tool. I used a pencil magnet when I compressed the spring to help prevent losing the keepers.

I'll take a look into shorter legs. Really didn't notice any angular rotation of the retainer with my 918 springs. If it was there it was not a problem.

No problem Larry. I too used a magnet tool, and it helped out alot. The tool is great, but has the capability to be greater with shorter legs. This will relocate the tips of the legs around the center of the retainer more, and makes for even easier spring removal. If you have any more, shoot me a PM. I'm interested in purchasing one of my own. I used a friends and I want one.

A good trick to remeber with this tool is to slip the tip of the magnet down the retainer, and connect to the valve and pull it up while you compress the spring. It makes the TDC method work very quickly with little trouble. Plus it helps locate where the spring needs to be centered at for the valve to come through the retainer perfectly without rubbing the edge of hole in the retainer. I give you alot of credit. Very simple, but very effective.

dragonZ28,

Yes I do have several more left if you want one.

ill take one if you still have them. let me know

Larry, sorry I didnt need to use it earlier, but used the VS tool you sent me 3 months ago, it is the chit man. That puppy pulled the double springs of my buddies PP heads so quick and easy. I swear. I was pissed cause it took me longer to start the air line than it did R&R the spring.
Thank,
Charlie

Has anybody had the stud break yet? I know it was a problem with the autozone version of this tool, but it used a bolt rather than a stud. A stud might just totally eliminate the problem!

Any more of these left?

Yes, I do have more left.

Billnz28,

I PM'ed you.

cool i will order one asap

payment sent ,thanks Larry

Larry, I need one!!! Sent ya an e-mail!!! If you don't get it then send me one.

Is this question really that hard to answer?

Mine has never broken the stud. Used 5 times now. Larry uses a very high tensile strength stud.

If anyone breaks a stud I sure would like to know about it.

If you keep a small amount of lube on the threads you should be able to use it on many springs. Also lube the tool after use to prevent rusting.

I should have a good supply of tools in next week.

Any news Larry? I need one soon.....

Hopefully I should have more this week.

Thanks
Roger
The information I have says the studs are made of allow steel and heat treated to RHNC 48-53. The alloy contains Chromium, nickel, molybedenum and vanadium of suffiecient quantity to assure that the specified strength properties are met after oil quenching and tempering. It will take a lot more pressure than the springs exert! The nut supplied is a grade 8 nut.

If you maintain lube while wrenching it should last for more spring changes than the average will ever perform. It will take a lot more pressure than the springs exert!

larry, sent you an email

My buddy and I used this tool today to do my springs today on my 00 SS. My buddy used the valvespring tool from thunder racing on his 99 SS. He said that this tool works 100 times better then the thunder racing tool.

I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this tool!

Thanks Larry!

Robbie

thanks for the info larry
i will send money out sometime this week


roger

Mine is on the way!!!

Thank you Larry you are VERY easy to deal with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skydog (Matt)

Thanks to everybody for all the kind words and orders!

All tools are on the way to everyone that has ordered. Hopefully all questions have been answered. Let know know if anybody has any problems.

Larry I sent paypal last night, do you think it will make it here by Friday?

Larry I sent paypal last night, do you think it will make it here by Friday?I would think you would have it by Wednesday. We are both in Texas. Let me know if you don't receive it.

I just used Larry's tool today for the first time and it turned a job I HATE and DREAD into one that was FUN. I've done 3 other spring swaps on this car using the SLP tool and the More tool and the difference is amazing. Thanks Larry! :cheers:

Yep, Larry's tool is by far the best.

Hey Larry, is there any chance I can order one of these? Or do I have to wait for another 20 people to sign up? You can put me down for one, I am 100% sure. I'll try to get an e-mail out to you...

I was reading through some cam install threads and was a little put off by the crappiness of the Moore tool...

:)

Larry, i'm sending payment Monday evening via next-day Fedex unless you say otherwise. Please let me know, thanks

Sure will! I don't know of any spring brand that it won't work on.

i'm just asking, because i heard the dual springs can be tricky to do with the more 'traditional' tools. so how do i 'officially' sign up for this deal?

Larry,

do you still have some available?
if so what is your pay pal

Due to the number of tools being lost I am going to have to ship by UPS tracking. Unfortunately the shipping cost will go up to $10.00.

Sorry for the additional cost but too many have reported that they have not received their tools shipping via UPS metered mail.

The post office sucks when ever its not letter sized mail. Hell, the price of stamps are rediculous, but what can you do, not like you can vote on it!! Thats another topic!

I always use/prefer UPS or the USPS any day!

Thanks for the great tool again.

As soon as I figure out what's wrong with my pay pal, I want one too!

If you like send me your email address and I'll send you a request for payment via Paypal. Maybe that will work?

Larry payment has been sent for a second one. There is a different address for the second one though so please pay close attention to that.

Thank you!! :D

Got mine. Nice piece. Thanks!

I can ship it on Monday any means you like. My $10 includes ground shipping and tracking. Depending on where you are located it might take up to 5 days to get it to you.

You can go to www.ups.com and determine how much faster service would be and/or how much it would cost. Use UPS Store and 1 pound weight.

Looks like a great tool! I'm about to put in a Hotcam in a few weeks and this tool will save me alot of money so i dont have to buy that MORE valvespring tool!

Still plenty in stock. You can Paypal to larry98@alltel.net Total is $35 delivered with tracking and insurance.

PM & paypal sent. I hope you still have some!

It's on the way to you. Still have plenty in stock.

I am thinking about getting one of these. I think I need to do a few swaps for some guys in my area. When using it, is it recommended to leave the rocker pedastal in like in the picture? I notice that some other rockers are still on, but does it matter...Thanks


I take you you have these ready to ship out?

I do have the tools ready to ship.

The tool does not interfer with the pedestal. Makes no difference whether it is in or not.

Larry, how do these work for reinstalling the springs? I can see them being usefull for compressing an already installed spring, but how would they work with putting on a new spring that isn't compressed yet? TIA

TIAIt removes and installed our valve springs. You do have to pressure up the cylinder or use the TDC method to keep the valve up to release and install the keepers.

how do i order one of these...i'm doing a cam install within the next week

I have four left. After these four are sold I will need confirmed orders of 20 before I can offer anymore. This is due to the declining number of orders I have received lately.

You can Paypal me at larry98@alltel.net to get one of the last four. Total is $35 delivered. Thanks...

I don't have paypal...do you take personal checks? I don't care if you have to wait for it to clear.

I don't have paypal...do you take personal checks? I don't care if you have to wait for it to clear.Yes...but keep in mind if I am out you would go on a waiting list until I have 20 confirmed orders. Best to set up a Paypal account.

Sorry guys but since my last post on May 12th I have only received about 5 committed orders. Doesn't look like I will be able to make more. I do appreciate all who did order and hope they are working good for you.

Larry,

Is there any way for you to do a small run for us? Even if the tool costed a bit more, I'm sure others would understand. I'd just like to have the opportunity to purchase it. Thanks!
