Anyone have a crane valve spring compressor they would be willing to let me use for a week for shipping + $10. If I have to replace the 918's I don't think the normal screw down style compressor tool will work on those back springs. I really don't want to have to buy that 120 tool for a one time use. If not, I understand though, that's an expensive tool to ship off to someone you've never met just on his word.

I use this https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...&highlight=tim It hasn't failed yet mainley duals, pp golds it can handle them.

 

i've used the hand screw type compressor to put in my 918's.
no problems.

 

Cool, and those worked with the engine in the truck? I did it last time with it outside.

 

yes it was on my truck. i would definatly not do it on a f-body or vette.
the back ones take a little time since it's so close to the firewall insulation.

 

did mine last night with the screw compressor... no problems, but your hand will get worn out after about 10 of those removal and installs LOL

 

thanks for the info guys, looks like teh screw type it is, but man, that $30 deal sure is tempting.
