Cam Install Tools I ordered everything to do my cam swap today and will be installing in a few weeks. Does anyone have a JRP lifter tool and/or the in-car valvespring compressor tool that I could rent? I would be happy to pay and give a deposit if you want. I would just buy them but I dont plan on needing them again. I live in Spring so anyone in the area let me know if you are willing to let me rent them from you. Thanks

Just get 5/16 brake line and make the lifter tool yourself. In most cases a swift spin of the cam and the lifters will be held up by the trays. Its just good insurance to use the lines. Too far away for the valvespring compressor....

Thats the one i used. Cut the handle off and run it down with a rocker arm bolt with a few washers under it.
