I tried a search and couldn't find anything, but does anybody know where I could find a in car valve spring compressor for a Hemi?
Thanks

Doesn't LSM make something?

I just seen one yesterday, let me think about it

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MILLER-TOOL-9065-HEMI-VALVE-SPRING-COMPRESSOR-SET/113407718357?epid=17026518049&hash=item1a67a073d5:g:Ql4AAOSwvytb~s6y:rk:37:pf:0

Who is LSM?

lsmproducts.com

I just did a quick check and the do have a hemi tool but it's not for the two shaft system. If you have the individual shaft system it works. If you have the two shaft system you may want to call them and see what they may have.

Logan Smith Machine, Rocklin (outside of Sacramento), CA. Very good tools.

I made my crude tool 20 years ago.The hard part is the rocker must be removed.I used compressed air to hold the valve up.

this may work too, they use rocker shaft also...

Is it an "In car" Hemi valve spring compressor that you're looking for like this?

If you do google search in the box at the top for Hemi Valve Spring Compressor this is what comes up.

Useful info and pics in the Moparts thread links there.

Yes, where did that one in the picture come from? I also see the one from Richard Troutt.

It's from Detroit Tools.

From one of the threads in the link.

"It's called the 426HemiVSR. I love it.
You can order it directly from Detroit Tools
Contact Mike Pollock at 1-313-942-2816"

When I was trying to buy one in 2014 they wouldn't return my calls at that phone number.

I don't know if they're still in business.

Mancini Racing used to sell them, but took them off their website since 2014 (they were out of stock at that time).

I bought one from a member here back in 2014, but have since sold it to a friend after I traded off my car that had the Gen 2 Hemi in it.

I know a lot of guys (maybe most) use air to hold the valves closed, but I just can't help worrying about it bleeding off. I have always used a piece of rope in the cylinder. Rope seems somewhat more dependable.

I always put the piston up top when doing this, that way if you lose air you don't lose the valve.

I know a guy that actually had the rope method get tangled up and it caused him real hell trying to avoid tearing the motor down to get it out.

Check with Buxton Engineering, they make THE best on head compressor out there. LSM also makes very nice stuff

Buxton Engineering's webpage for valve spring compressors.

Buxton don't make them.

Yeah, Murphy in action. Nothing is fool proof. But I had never seen or heard of a problem with the rope.......until now.

I have, however, seen problems with air leaking off and letting the valve get too far into the cylinder.

Would borrowing one do it? Or do you need one permanently?
