is there a website for the vinci? I dont want to spend $150 and lose the tool. my friend got this tool for like $30 and it worked great but he cant remember where he got it from. It looked like a home made tool.

www.vincihighperformance.com, link is to the right. You will not find this tool for $30, and you will quickly find a cheap tool is harder to use and can lead to problems. Someone just gouged up their valve stems with a valve spring tool and now is removing heads, you get what you pay for.

Not sure why you say only once, how are you going to maintain your valve springs?

Dont do what i did and fight the crappy overhead type tools for 2-3 days... I had to redo them afterwards because I forgot to seat the seals and the crane tool took me 2 hours!

tool I personally like the looks of this tool at Thunder.

You use a 3/8" ratchet to compress the springs with the heads either on or off the car.
Anyone ever use it?

If I had money to spare I would have gotten the Crane tool(2 springs at a time), but since I was on a tight budget, I bought Tim's tool and it worked great.
