Yes, when we tell you 5 times what it looks like

OH!!!!!!! that 10mm ring spanner

Sam.

billybobobrain · « **Reply #4 on:** February 23, 2009, 04:10:55 PM »

Yes I made it, It is a 15mm wrench cut in half and welded to half of a deep 14mm socket. It was for removing valve springs with the head on the motor, but I got impatient and after welding it put it in the snow @18 degrees f. and it over hardened I probably rate right up there with your uncle toolbox wise. I have 5 or 6 sets in one toolbox and my garage holds the rest. Only I can find the tools!

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #5 on:** February 23, 2009, 04:27:17 PM »

Why do you want to take the valve caps off with the head on, the valves will fall in to the head, then you'll have to take the head off to retreive them

the idea was good though

Turn the "handle" end 90 degrees and weld back on, or braze. Oil quench, instead of snow temper.

Looks a good tool for changing springs a valve guide seals. I
ll be making something similar for a 550. Right after I make an air hose fitting for the spark plug hole.

Not if you know what you're doing.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #8 on:** February 23, 2009, 05:13:17 PM »

I can see what your saying Gordon but i think I'd let it smoke till it was ready for a full valve job and rebore.

But then you don't get to use a homemade tool. Now where's the fun in that?

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #13 on:** February 23, 2009, 06:52:35 PM »

Yes but homemade tools break, don't they booboobrain

sorry Billy

Sam.

only teasing with ya.

TT, the snow treatment would likely harden it, not temper it.

At any rate tempering is a process that follows after hardening..

I make hammers out of everyday objects on a regular basis.

Does that count?

Of course!

I make boomerangs out of tools fairly often. The only problem is they never make the return trip! $:-\$

Sam.

You have to rotate the engine to keep the piston up then you can change valve guide seals, springs, and keepers with the head on.

You can only do two cylinders at a time, then rotate 180 degrees and do the other two.

I just intalled an 850 kit from cyclex but I couldent find a valve spring compressor to save my life so I got creative.

You can also use an air compressor to hold the valves up. I employed that method once when replacing a broken valve spring on a Volvo P1800 for a friend. Connect a compression tester fitting to your air hose and plug it into the spark plug hole. It pressurizes the combustion chamber and holds the valves in the closed position.
