Need Valve Spring Tool
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.

137.00 shipped overnight early morning delivery!
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!
Get yourself a piece of flat stock at the hardware store. Take a drill and a file and make your own. Its not hard at all and you can save yourself $30. If you cant make that tool you shouldnt be doing the cam swap.

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.
