Review on Complete Ford 4.6L/5.4L/6.8L 3V Engines Repair Tools Set - Valve Spring Compressor, Crankshaft Positioning Tool, Cam Phaser Holding Tool, Timing Chain Locking Wedge with Crankshaft Pulley Bolt by Jamar Gow

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Didn't work out of the box and was bent

This spring compressor is not designed for use with 3v heads out of the box. I ended up using a bolt with 2 nuts and a washer to be able to thread the handle onto the tool and still lower the exhaust valves far enough to remove the pushrods. Since I never completed this task again, I spent several hours trying to figure out that the tool was wrong and not my methods. The tool bent halfway, I bent it back but don't trust the tool won't bend and break next time so I can catch metal who knows where. This makes this package unsuitable. The phaser holder works as advertised. The crank position tool works as advertised. Bolt and bought a genuine Ford bolt.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Upgrades
