valve spring tool

[jet150]

Hey all,

I will be installing cams and valve springs next week but my mechanic asked what type of valve spring tool people have used on our engines.

If someone knows can they please post a pic of the tool.

While I haven't used this, here is what people have posted in other threads: http://www.meek.com.au/index.php?_a=product&product_id=605

heya Rob the tool I use is the one dice posted ^^
seems some others have had issues with noisy lifters with the cam grinds, so pop in some 0.5mm shims to ensure its quiet. AKKO got some for his galant so maybe PM him and see where he got them from

Shims do not make for a quiter result by any means. But recomended for other reasons.
Maybe with a different choice in oils...

I used the blue point tool, not bad, however, I ended up having the engine out and the rear turbo removed.. the above tool will probably make it possible to do it without that.

yep I used the tool linked in the second post to install the springs with engine in the car. the rear bank exhaust valves are a right bastard but do-able

Jesus trying to find this so I can buy it is almost imposible. Meek is out of stock.
