    Hi guys ,
    What is everyone using for checking valve spring pressure on assembly ? I am looking at getting something bench mounted.

    Thanks Wayne

    I've thought about this for a while now and I have a Rimac. As long as you know how to use it correctly it's great. However if you don't have any I would look into the Cantrell or Manton rocker gear tool for changing springs and checking psi. If you think about it. Unless your a change it out guy at 25-30-40 passes then how do you check psi on the seat. Take the head all apart and check them in the Rimac every week? As stated I have a Rimac but borrow a friends Manton one when I get suspicious of valve train problems. And I believe if you find a used Rimac your gonna pay 4-500$ , that's almost the tool to cahange it out on three head at the track.

    Hi Jay
    I am trying to find a good used Rimac.
    I have the Leanders tool for use at the track , that is a great piece.
