Does anyone have a specific valve spring testing tool they like that work on the w5 head, or any other head for that matter?
Looking to acquire one.

I don't have pics, or even a name of the one my friend Ben had in his machine shop before Hurricane Helene destroyed it. I called it his spring dyno...lol. It was hooked to a computer, and you put the valve springs in it off of the head to test them. It resembled a small shop press, and had an electronic measuring device on it that was hooked to the computer. He could test open and closed pressure with it and print out a sheet to go in the blueprint file for the motor. Vague description, I know....but I always thought it was an impressive tool to have if you build engines.

That’s above and beyond what I need I think, I do know what you’re talking about though.
I was looking for one I can check the spring pressure right on the head if possible

Moroso makes one (At least used to) that clamps
onto the rocker shaft. It is not really accurate enough
for me to set spring pressure up but it is close enough to highlight
a problem.
My particular LSM as I recall, requires the spring to be off the
heads for testing.
God is so very Good!

I've always found these to be adequate for what I do.

Description below from the LSM website;
"Adjustable on head valve spring pressure tester for various shaft style and stud mount roller rocker systems."
Now that I think about it they're probably referring to Chevy paired-style "shaft" rockers as opposed to the Chrysler style full length shaft across the head. Sorry for the misinformation.
Do a search on the goodson site.
