Another tool I would never want to go without. I strip and assemble a lot of heads and this makes the job so easy. B1 Head by John Cadamore, on Flickr

Eastwood tubing flare tool. Very rarely am I impressed by a tool. This thing never gives a bad flare. Use it with steel, nicad, and stainless. Perfect every time. Just don't go king kong on the tool. I broke mine, cracked the back off where it holds the blocks. I think I can fix it by milling the back and attaching a steel plate to replace the part that holds the blocks in place.

I was on a project where I noticed a couple plumbers. Using these.. they told me that they had been using them for 8 hours a day for several months.. I can tell you I picked one up.. and it's probably one of the most used tools in my garage.. most of my work is done in the evening or at night.. about 30 bucks from Amazon

I bought a new workbench (storage unit) for clean head assembly and I was assorting all my engine and transmission tools and I found one tool I hope I NEVER have to use again. My old hand crank ring filer. LOL. I used to hate filing rings with that thing.

Lsm on the head valve spring compressor, once used you will appreciate. I can't stop buying LSM tools. Light and effortless. We just ordered a spring tester.

Thx Personally I like the NGK setup because it works with NTK 02's and they are more lead tolerant than the Bosch sensors. Also a good reason why the Holley Dominator ECU is cool as it also support NTK. NTK Wideband

Yeah, racing on credit is bad,bad,bad. I've seen guys roll in to the track with a nice rig and top shelf stuff and so broke they couldn't pay attention. Debit card ran as a credit card and tied to an account with enough to pay for the stuff, period. Or a card with cash back and the bill paid every month. Man you and Al are missing up my plan for pulling a 2nd out on the house and doing a new Engine program To hang with Whitedart and Jay Waxler what's a couple seconds amongst friends
