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 use the pictured crane cam unit. It works beautifully.

This is the Vinci tool. I had to modify mine, but I have AFR225s and PP gold springs, so I dont think you would have to modify it for stock applications. Any way the tools works great.

I have the Crane/Vinci tool as well. It is the best out there in my opinion. I don't like the one that grabs the spring, you can scratch the metal that could end up being a stress riser and fatigue point. These springs are very highly stressed material.

Tru, and I also have that tool from Autozone like the first picture in the poist with two pictures. I tried that on my springs with the engine on an eingine stand and it doesnt work good with dual springs. It might be OK for OEM/Single springs.

Thanks for all your replies... I would still like to hear from someone that has the one I mentioned in my thread.

I'd get the Vinci tool, as i cost the same, if not less and does two springs at once.

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
