Where can I get the tool to remove the springs? Im installing the dual springs.
Something cheap and only a one time use (hopefully). thanks

 

get the crane tool

 

Where Can I Get It? How Much?

 

Vinci is the cheapest >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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

 

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.

 

Check the tools section. I have the Crane tool and love it, but there is a member selling them. Search Tools.

 

the crane tool is well worth the extra.

tims tool

 

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.

 

agreed!!!!

 

I got the crane tool from summit for $104 shipped. Try there

I made my own tim's style tool then bought the crane tool. The crane tool is well worth it.

 

Hey whats up, I got it from someone here on Ls1tech.
Here is the link.....Tim's Valve Spring 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?

 

I was going to get that for my cam install, but was told it is very difficult or impossible to get to the back springs, because you won't have room to move the ratchet.

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.

 

Hey whats up hector. I will order the Tim tool. Im on a budget due to the house.
