Hey guys totall time spent was 30mins. Pretty niffty if I might say

 

I bought something like that on eBay a year or so ago. I don't see them anymore, however. They're really damn great to R&R valvetrain.

 

I honestly don't see how this will work. I have done a couple heads in my time and just one screw pushing on the side of the retaining clip doesn't work that great and will put side stress on the valves, seals and guides.

 

I imagine the screw pushes on the center of a hollow cylinder that seats on the retainer, with a cutout so you can get the keepers in and out, no?

 

Man your pritty good with this free hand stuff , I give you props

I took a socket the size of the od of the retainer. Then I machined the sides out to compress the retainer and spring down...I will post another pic here in a sec to show you.

 

the socket I used was a cheap 13/16 to be exact. I milled a portion of the side walls away...here is final product.

 

Much better now....

Looks great!

Care to make another?

I'd rather be punched in the face than spend $70 for that.

 

B-series.... GSR to be specific.

 

is there a bearing or a bushing device that goes between the socket and the allen head screw ? does the socket try to spin around when compressing the valve spring?

</TD></TR></TABLE> No not really ...the ball nose on the end of the bolt usually spins freely on top. If it does start you can feel it starting to turn as your tightening the bolt. I just hold the socket if it does. I also have one that I put some foam with adhesive on one side to stick to the bottom for customers.

 

Hey ludesleep,
Nice, simple & effective tool! That's the best kind!
for sharing!

 

is there any way, you could implicate an "adjustment bolt" similar to a c clamp?

Yes back before i could afford a goodson pneumatic clamp I used a clamp with the same size socket welded to the end.

 

I should get my bro to post pics of the one he designed.

 

Looks like more of a 1 man operation compared to the snap on on car spring compressor we have.

Plus your hand doesn't go numb from installing stiff *** valve springs as someone tries to pop the keepers in.

 

very nice nice peice you made there. is there any chance you can share what angle the screws on top of the block are? thanks

 

well it was made for an h22a head which is a 29deg head.

 

that reminds me! I have to finish mine.

nice work.

 

does it work for all b series motors i got a B18A1. And how much does it cost. let me know

 

Beautiful work!
