Valve Spring Pressure Tester?

mannymen · 08-02-2009, 08:32 PM

I need a recommendation on which valve spring tester to purchase.

1. I need a valve spring tester that will clear everything in the engine compartment and while the motor is in the car (69 Camaro SS'er).

2. It has to work on a BBC with a Jesel Pro Series rocker system.

Thanks

I have an LSM tester, it works great with my BBC, with Jesel rockers.

Anyone using the two piece LSM tester and if so is it really any different than the single handle tester?

I had the two piece version. My car was a 69 camaro superstocker, but I ran a smallblock engine and used Jesel's shaft rockers. In my opinion, LSM's stuff is the best. I let mine go with the engine. I miss that tool, and the engine, lol.

Manny, We use the LSM and have no trouble with it. Now bring that SS/BA car out for us to see!

Gremlins are killing me. Release date keeps getting pushed back, but I'm now looking at the D3 Open at Indy this Oct. The car will be running D3 to start next year and then finishing in D1 for the remainder of next year. Marty I'll be looking you up for some help with this SS stuff next year
