On engine valve spring compressor

[2009redrt]

Indy 360-2 heads. Does anyone know if there's a tool to compress/replace the valve springs with the heads still mounted on the block? I have the tool to do this on W5 heads, but not the Indy heads.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hughes Engines?

I have found that those intended for overhead cam engines work well for engines with rocker shafts. I have an old KD Tool compressor made for the old Datsun OHC 4 and 6 cylinders that works good.

YES AS AJ stated hughes rents them out

The clamp ones dont work on dual springs. Fyi

this is the one I got from Ed Hamburger many many years ago...it looks pretty simple and I have used it dozens of times on standard and w2 heads....

It would not be hard to copy.....

Duster360, does that one work on Indy heads?

 

[duster360]

As long as it has the shaft cradles like stock heads. Which I thought they did. I could be wrong though.

Here is a picture I found of the head. As long as the stands are in the stock location it will work great.
