    Looking for a bbc shaft rocker on head valve spring compressor. What works best for you guys? Have T&D rockers on Dart 360 heads.

    T&d

    We are very happy with the one that T&D makes. It is bascily just a fork and a handle, so you need to apply force all the time. But it comes with an multi-position angled handle and will clear most all installations. If you want a more advanced one have a look at LSM.

    We have the LSM Valve spring compressor for our sbc with Jesel rockers,works extremly well for taking the springs off with the heads on,excellent investment!! It cost around $200.00,but worth every bit of it.

    call Jeff....he might have what you need, and a great guy to deal with.

    LSM racing products valve spring tester
    We bought this new for our chevy stuff and have since switched over to a hemi so we don't have any use for it. It is a tester to check seat pressure on any type of rocker on the head. The guage goes to 600 so it should work on just about any spring. It is brand new and has never been out of the box. They are about 230.00 in Jeg's so we will take 200.00 and pay the freight to you. I can send you a picture if you need it and the part number is 0621-PC-100. Thanks Jeff Woolard 913-557-9147 or cell 913-449-1523 or e-mail dragracers@sbcglobal.net

    Valvespring compressor for Veney.

    Dear All !
    Don`t wanna hijack this tread but i wonder if any of you know who make /sell a good on head ( heads on block ) valvespring compressor for Veney heads with Stage V rockers.
    I would prefer one that would stay in a locked position while fiddling with the locks ( a 1 man tool )
    Thanks in advance

    Do you have a valve spring compressor that will work with T&D on a SBC head?

    I used the T&D on my nitrous car years back and the problem was by the time you were on the 12th spring or so my arm would be so damn tired and that was at 345 on the seat, I could not imagine it at 475 :eek:
