Anyone got a valve spring compressor they'd loan/rent to me for a cummins? I picked up my replacement motor today. Was thinking I'd put the studs and springs in before the engine goes in.
-
Did you buy the springs yet?
When I bought mine (From Zach Hamilton) he loans a tool (his customers just mail it to the next guy)

On a serious note, anyone tried the springs with one of these?

I know it'll be slow compaired to the four valve jobber. But the engine is easy to work on out of the truck. Plus I won't have to pull the injectors right away.

Well I just was told on another forum that tool will work. :punk:
Guess I might better start studding and springing my replacement engine this weekend huh? :daddy:

Out of the truck, that should be fine.
I'd hate to try and do #5 and #6 with that thing and the engine in the truck.
:argh:

Dont underestimate how nice that spring compressor is though, it really makes short work of it.

Just can't see spending $125 for something I'll use one time. I think it'll go smoothly/slowly with the single valve spring tool since the engine is out of the truck.

Zach will loan it to ya, IF it's to install a set of Hamilton's springs.
All he asks is that it doesn't touch a set of F1's.
If you're installing Hamilton's and want the tool, there is a thread over over on CompD to request it. I don't think anyone is using it right now.
