Magnum Head Valve Spring Compressor

DionR said
Not ready to give a full update, but figured I would at least keep people in the loop in case they were getting ready to pull the trigger on the tool I bought.

So far, not happy. Supplied bolts are the wrong thread, center bolt doesn't match the angle of the valves, nose of the plate is too wide and has to be forced between the springs, and the offset is wrong so the compressor plate just barely makes contact with the spring retainer on one side. I've sent a message to the seller, we will see what I hear.

There is the possibility that they shipped me one for an LS, but my gut says they are all for an LS and just listed to fit the Magnum. Guess we will see.

That's the issue I ran into also!!! I'm thinking the same thing, that they think it will work on Magnum's just like it does for the LS's!!

Had to modify it like crazy and then it was still not quite right, as the springs I replaced were to wide and the middle bar would hit them and not compress them correctly!!!

I liked the idea though, as you could do 2 valves at once!!!
