Does anyone in Houston have an LS1 specific valvespring tool or a harmonic balancer installation tool that I can rent/borrow for a weekend? I'm about to install a cam in my Camaro and these are the only things I am missing.

Thanks,
Nick 281-794-5541

 

Gl w/ install man. Call me after you get it installed. Or if you need some help

 

You can rent a valve spring tool from about any auto parts it ain't the most efficient tool but it got the job done, they will also rent a three jaw puller to get the balancer off...I had no luck finding a ls specific one

I have heard too many bad things about the auto parts store spring compressors (like breaking bolts off in the head) and I have the puller I just need the installation tool for balancer.

Here is what I'm looking for:

OP : maybe some of this will help
good luck, Johnny

INSTALL PULLY

I do not like to pull much on the inside threads of the crank I get two bolts with same thread as crank weld them head to head screw it tight into crank then slide a socket over then ( one that just go inside of pulley to align pulley) then use a big washer and nut on the free end of welded unit to pull pulley onto crank this way is easy on the inside threads of crank I also like to change the front seal while pulley is off

Home make a tool to hold crank to allow tighten pulley bolt, insert the tool into flywheel , remove round plug ( about 2-3 inch dia. ) on bottom of of flywheel cover to insert tool
make tool useing flat bar about 12-14 in long
1/4 x 2 x 14 ( notch in the side will allow the tool to hold itself in place by cetching on side of hole)

botton out pullet flush with end of crank with old bolt ,install new bolt torque to 37 lb then pull another 120 degrees if you do not have a compass to get the right degrees ( stop and think ) mark the bolt at 180 degrees and at 90 degrees then mark 1/2 between the two marks which i think will be about 135 degrees so you may go eather 140 degrees or 120 degrees from there ,

sorry do not think the picture of tool will show correct it should be about 2 in wide all way down
