Best choice for basic valve work

I love this tool. I've used cheap generic ones and they keep popping up, can be used forever etc. I bought this for a couple of LS heads I'm working on and it's amazing! I had all 16 valves, springs, retainers and seats in 20 minutes! I didn't give 5 stars for several reasons: 1. The bolt used for compression doesn't last long, get spares.2. The included washers are not hardened and will not last long, please purchase replacement parts.3. There were no assembly instructions; But it's very easy…

Pros
  • Steering and suspension tools
Cons
  • Available in black only

I had no problems with this tool. Oz I understood how it works

tool comes without instructions. I inflated the cylinder I was working on with compressed air. And a few times I tapped the top of the pen holders with a rubber mallet. Don't use a product image to understand how it works. The long jacking screw is specially angled. I used this tool on the cast heads of a 2004 Pontiac LS1 241 to install higher lift valve springs and valve guide seals. They give an extra pressure screw and the included nuts should hold everything together when storing the tool.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • High price
