455 Valve spring compressor

Any one have one that I can snatch up?

 

Or if someone has the TA one i can rent. i will pay shipping too and fro.

 

Nice posting time!

 

Bump

 

Curios what the TA compressor looks like. I struggle with the two that I have.

 

It's just a handle with a fork that rotates over a rocker bar,..you can make one in 20 min

 

TA's is similar to this Jesel type tool.

 

TA ‘s is nice because it pivots on a partial Buick rocker shaft and is Buick scale specific. If the contact point with the retainer were lengthened in an arc by 1”, it would work better with the piston 8 and 7 valve springs, with the engine installed and ac.

 

Here's a YouTube vid...

 

LOL Thats my Vid! I can rent the tool if ya need it or bring it with to BG.

 

I’m just trying to get all 8 exhaust valves out so I can install set screws in the A.I.R. holes of my heads.

Briz, do you foresee the need of the tool anytime soon? It would be probably a couple weeks I would need the tool as free time to wrench is sparse.

 

Have no plans on needing it in the foreseeable future.

 

This is what I came up with... works on or off car and woulda been a little better with a slightly larger hole.
