New tool!

[493 Mike]

Hi fellas,
In another post I mentioned I was fabricating a valve lash tool, to save money. I found a 12 point 1/4 drive socket in my stash and made the rest from my steel collection. That's a piece of heat shrink tubing on the handle.

LSM and Proform have made similar tools for years, LSM’s even sets the torque.

No idea what it does, but I definitely need one.

Very nice! I think you should take some orders. make a few bucks and have some fun!

Dang right! looks great i gotta fab one up for myself now.

If I'm looking at this correctly? It's a torque lever that seems to be 1 size specific, yes? If so, I like the idea but don't see the practically of it. But if it works good, use it!

 

[Jeff Erwin]

It's for revamping the eradicator valves down near the torque outlet. Duh.

It only fits the T&D rockers on my 540 engine.

Yeah that reminds me of a very similar tool I saw at least 15-20 years ago. Can't remember the exact application, though.

You are one talented guy. I'm envious.

Took me a few seconds to puzzle out how it worked exactly since it was upside down relevant to how it would be used....but very clever...well done!!
