Multiple spring installs and swaps with the Comp tool and not a problem for me ever. That sucks

 

Well the jury is in , the comp spring tool is the biggest poorly made piece of **** I've ever used.

It can't even compress the springs straight down , we had to use a thick pry tool to force the springs straight while bieng compressed so we could get the valve locks on , costing us lots of time and aggravation ! There is no room in the car either so it was really hell changing springs .

I've used the crane tool 4 times , perfect every time .

Comps spring compressor, every trash can should own one .

 

Note to self buy crane compressor and not comp.
cams ...

 

Is this the one everyone uses? Crane Chevy Valve Spring Compressors 99475-1 - Mobile SummitRacing.com

 

Got any pics of it on the head?

 

I made my own using some scrap 1/4" strip aluminum (steel would have been better) and an M8 stud, nuts, and washers from the hardware store. Wasn't pretty but it worked like a champ for only a couple bucks and 30 minutes to make it.

 

+1 for the crane tool.

 

That's it bud . As long as they didn't change anything from the one I've used, looks the same though IIRC.

 

thats the one I have

 

Just saw this on tech. Is it our buddy or a coincidence?
