Help me find this valve spring tool? I seen a post on this a while back and now cant find it. Its just a flat peice of steel that you use a rocker arm bolt on and it will compress the spring. Anyone know what I am talking about? I dont have any $$ to buy one and got some 3/8 steel and can make one of these up, I need to change my valves ASAP.
Thanks

Re: Help me find this valve spring tool? Be careful, my experience with that is that the thing is crap. I'd go ahead and work with something like the 40 dollar snap on compressor. There are a lot of options out there that are quality tools. The modified napa tool just was bad luck for our cam install. We got a bolt snapped into the heads.

Re: Help me find this valve spring tool? Which one are you talking about? They have like 20 different valve spring compressors on there site.
Re: Help me find this valve spring tool? the one i made, which im sure you found my pic with the dimensions and stuff, works great
just use a few washers as spacers and make sure you get 4-5 good turns into the rocker arm bolt hole before it grabs the tool and itll work fine. done quite a few spring changes with it with no problem at all
