Soop Dogg Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 He's on about a twin magnamatic valve keeper tool...their about £50 from snap-on. Yep - absolutely top piece of kit. Used one on Supra engines about 3 times now so I could do valve stem seals without removing the head - brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwoody1 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 yea it was just a thought being as my trade is a sparky not a mechanic i know i will never use it again as i not looking to replace the car or the seals again for another 100k lol what do you lot think of this would it work? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sealey-VS1651-Valve-Collet-Install-Remove-16-24Valve_W0QQitemZ130205429758QQihZ003QQcategoryZ30917QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwoody1 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 no keeping head on so need the tool to take off the collets, if i had one to copy i suppose i could make one up on the lathe at work but just don't won't to buy one for 50 ish pounds for about 4-5 hours work then to be thrown in the tool box to go rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

movistar Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 You wire up my garage and i will do your steam seals:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiFFAD Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 As its something a few people want (myself included at some point) how about the club buys a couple, and rents them out... could be a cost neutral excersise for the club after a couple of rent's and would help the masses Obviously peeps would have to leave a deposit incase they destroyed it, refundable minus rental/postage charge on its safe return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwoody1 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 that would be a good idea but i need it for the 27th so think i will have to buy one then sell it on here or flebay so someone might get one for half or so the price any takes?
