12v Valve Spring Tool

[RJM06590]

Hey guys, we currently have a valve spring tool in the works for the 12 valve. Just seeing how much interest there is and what everyone would be comfortable paying for something like this. Demand will also change the pricing so speak up!

The finished ones will be made out of stainless, imo the aluminum ones won't hold up to guys running dual valve springs etc.

i want one, just keep them cheap

[jordanjames81]

Whats the desing like? One from geno's garge isnt worth money. Im in process of making one on same princple as 24v where a bolt compresses them. What price range?,

That ^ plus:

Would it be possble to make one that could 12v and 24v?

Like a bolt on attachement?

[RJM06590]

I will keep them as cheap as possible, as far as the 24v I don't have one to work on. If someone would give me close up pics of the rockers on and removed and some precise measuring, it may be possible.

will i be able to change out spring with the head on?

[RJM06590]

Yep, just bring the piston to tdc.

[not enoughsmoke]

put me down for one how soon can i have one rob?

[RJM06590]

Cool Chase, the prototype is getting it's final touches and will be done tomorrow. I'm going to outsource the build on these, I they'll look a lot nicer done on a cnc machine vs my freehanding and should be cheaper that way (bulk). I will try to keep them at the same price as the Source 24v version, but there are more pieces than the 24v one and they will most likely be stanless.

Id be interested in one for sure rob it has to work better than the two versions I've used lol

[RJM06590]

[BRE]

Interested!

[Mo Smoke]

Also interested

[YURMOM]

yeah the Geno's one one a joke

i would rather pull the head than use that pile of poo

[jedeka]

Rob, I am interested and could use one as soon as soon as they become available.

[RJM06590]

Awesome guys, the prototype is almost done, been non stop on it. I just hope it's strong enough, there's not much room for a beefy piece.

[RJM06590]

:D it's alive! LOL I will have a teaser pic up in a few.
Just to be sure, this design is property of Rob's Diesel Performance and Repair. I know there's guys out there who may make one similar for themselves, but if anyone tries to mass produce them, charges will be pressed. Not to sounds like a d!($, but I take great pride in this tool and all of our other custom products.

[RJM06590]

This is the ROUGH PROTOYPE, it is not the finished product, this was built by me with rough tools LOL The finished product will be made on a cnc machine and will have a more "flowing" look.

:evil As promised

Rob looks awesome but when i said frist on ur list i ment the new cnc one u can keep ur prototype one LOL

[RJM06590]

LOL don't worry the machine shop will get this one.

[RJM06590]

In other news while testing the tool out I found out that most of my 60 lb springs have shrunk over 2mm in one season of pulling (10 hooks 5,000 miles).

wow thats a long pull, 500 miles each????

[RJM06590]

LOL 5,000 driving miles.

[not enoughsmoke]

so it will compress them no problem?

[RJM06590]

Yep just did mine, I may use one size smaller stud (but go with an ARP instead of grade 8) so we can get a little more steel around it. It gets very narrow between the springs.

[ETH/DEE]

Looks good, I'm surprised no one tackled this one yet. Not to critique your design but I would close the ends of the tool...:Cheer:

[YURMOM]

if the price is right, i will get one to throw in the tool box for the once and a blue moon job and for conversation sake

[RJM06590]

The ends are getting trimmed and rounded.

[RJM06590]

Just got back from the machine shop, I'm going to have 10 made for now. He said he'll have them done towards the end of next week if all goes as planned.

[YURMOM]

got a price yet?

[RJM06590]

Still waiting on a couple factors before we name a price. My machinist gave me a good estimate for them so it's really on packaging now. I'd really like to ship them in some sort of case, there's some loose bolts, washers and nuts that I don't want everyone to loose after the second use lol.

[CL2000]

Someone else has been making a similar one for a while for around $40

[RJM06590]

You have a link?
