Got my tool today. Quality, packaging, and service were all excellent. Not swapping for a few weeks but one question. One washer under the plate and one on top?

I supply 2 washers that go on top of the tool where you grease them and they act as a make shift bearing while you compress the tool. If you have room its best to use both of the washers but if not, then you can use one washer. Thanks for checking

Hi,

I'm looking for a tool to remove the valve springs of my LS7 cylinder head.

Three questions came to my mind regarding this tool:
I assume, that one end of the tool rests on the cylinder head / valve cover surface and the other end on the valve spring retainer. By tightening the nut, force is applied in the middle of the tool, lowering the retainer.

If so,
1) Doesn't the tool damage the sealing surface cylinder head / valve cover? --> Could be prevented by putting a piece of rubber or similar in between.

2) Tightening the nut changes the angle between the stud bolt and the tool and thus applies a shearing force to the bolt / thread in the cylinder head. My concern is, that thread in the cylinder head could get damaged by this?

3) the tool does not apply the force to the retainer along the valve axis, but in a small angle (the angle changes when the tool is lowered / the nut is tightened). I guess this is not a problem for the valve / valve keys?!

If anybody could comment, especially on question 2, which is my main concern.

Thanks a lot!

Florian
