Everyone With A 4.6l Read This!

Ok so I'm doing cams/springs on my 2001 GT and as everyone knows, it's a b*!@% to get the springs off with a universal valve spring compressor. I was doin some looking on the internet and happened to find this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq4YuHsCCuc

This guy has made this tool for hondas/mitsubishis. He is in the Florida area, and is looking for a head off a mustang to make one for us 4.6 people. He is currently checking salvage yards, but says if anyone has a PI head off of the 4.6's that he could borrow for a few days he could make one. As you can see in this video it is a very simple, straightforward tool that will relieve many headaches.

Any one in the Florida area, this guy is located at west palm beach, his number is 561-315-8930 and their website is Euro Export, Inc.

These tools sell for around fifty bucks, and I will personally be among the first to buy one! Anyone in te area, get a hold of this guy!

vedy vedy nice...

and who are you again!? lol

tomkat69247 · February 9th, 2010, 06:44 PM

Hahaha I'm fairly new around here I know but I'm just a mustang fanatic from Iowa.

BakerFX4 · February 9th, 2010, 06:48 PM

Yeah just messing with you. Nice find though. Does look more easy.

tomkat69247 · February 9th, 2010, 08:05 PM

can I bump this toward the top of the forums somehow?

TheHambone · February 9th, 2010, 08:11 PM

I emailed him and and told him he could use my heads I have laying around. He just would have to pay shipping there and back.

97S281 · February 9th, 2010, 08:19 PM

Damn, That looks so easy. I wonder how hard it would be to make yourself?

That's awesome! What heads do you have? I have a 2001 Gt, with the 2v PI heads. Is that watchya got?

TheHambone · February 9th, 2010, 08:34 PM

Exactly what I have actually. They were replaced by trick flows

If he made one that worked as easy as the video above I would use it in a heartbeat. The "right one" isnt exactly the best valve spring compressor ive even seen.

C MY 4D · February 9th, 2010, 08:47 PM

have you used it? I have never had an issue with it....

Yeah Ive used it once.. Dont get me wrong it works, and deff gets the job done. It deff doesnt seem as easy as the one in the vid though.. I guess im just willing to see if he can improve on it

I bought the trickflow tool that you posted and it just wasnt working.. it's fricken hard to reach around that thing and you can only use it with the cam in place which creates another obstacle. I need to replace my springs and valve seals... This tool looks like the one for the job!

mustang_gtr_99 · February 9th, 2010, 09:41 PM

F that, i am going to make it. that is an easy to make tool right there

tomkat69247 · February 9th, 2010, 09:44 PM

mpe331lx · February 9th, 2010, 09:50 PM
