valve adjustment tool
Has anyone attempted to fabricate a valve spring holding tool? I made the other two wrenches and they came out pretty nice. But I'm still short of a set. I've got a 30mm openend that I used on my first attempt, but it would slip off alot. Although I finished the job, it was a pain. At those times I always remember an old pipefitter telling me, slow down son, let's work smart, not hard. Sometimes that's hard to remember. Thank's for any feedback. C.J.

Chriss, I did and failed... I would up with two nice upper wrenches and bought the spring holder.. it has to be very thin and I just gave up....

Here is a link to a pic of the tool.
http://www.samstagsales.com/images/hz2769-3.jpg He has them for sale for about 33.00 USD on the website. Looks like one could use a 30mm flare wrench and maybe weld a thin metal washer on and slot. I have never had a prob with mine turning. |

Are you sure that you need it? I have the complete set, but only rarely do I need the large wrench for moving or holding the retainer. If you get in that situation, you should be able to improvise with something.
As long as you have some crooked 14's, you should be able to get the job done. Good luck, |

I agree with Larry. I didn't use the valve spring holding tool when I adjusted my valves. I think it just gets in the way.

valve tool
I wish none of my springs turned, but they all did. I've read about people using crescent wrenches, but that dosen't work well in some spots. I'm sure I can create something. thanks for all your help. C.J.
