Go to Hughes web sight. I think they have a used one for sale.

thanks al,thats exactly what i was looking for. have you used the on head spring tester? would it be better to buy a bench tester and pull the springs to test?
i n eed them for jessel,s on 572-13,s and t&d,s on indy sr,s.

We make & sell them in 300lb, 600lb and 1000lb sizes, for $62. Mounts in a vise, drill press, what have you. Accurate within 1%, and has a 3.25" gauge face. PM me if you're interested.

Brian,

If you need one right away I can borrow the bench top tester from work this week. I have to return your compressor anyway. I'm off all week recovering from the latest round of jaw surgery.

Brian,Yes I have the on head tester. The LSM piece works well. I check them with a bench top unit first upon install but we use the on head to keep track of them during the season. The removal tool from LSM is nice and works well. The Buxton piece is easier to use but on this engine in my car it does not fit well due to engine set back. IIRC LSM will give you a break on price if you buy the removal tool and tester together. Lance is a great guy and a heck of a racer as well.

I use the LSM on head vavle spring removal tool and it works great. Bought their spring tester and found it would give me a differnent reading each time I checked the spring pressure. Retuned it and bought a Buxton. It is repeatable.

I have the LSM tool for removing the spring on the head . ( I keep on breaking inners ?? )
and the LSM head tester .

I use a Longarc bench tester 0 - 1200 PSI

I had to modify the on head tester because of the canted valve angle.
