Those standard spring compressors you see at advance auto and such will not work. Prob the ones you have at the shop.

dag, yo.

Nah, sorry man. Sold it.

I have the kent moore cam gear sprocket tool though.

That comes in handy for timing chain work and such.

I kept it cuz you never know when you may need it again (hopefully never, lol).

Not cam holder. Cam gear holder. Makes swapping out cams a breeze. Otherwise it's pretty much a 2 man job.

Lol if Jeff can't get you the tool for some reason just have someone hold the cam gears in place while you swap the cams.

The cam sproket tool still helps even though he is pulling the front cover and timing chain.

Like if i have the front end on a trolley?

The thing is we have a lift at work which would be so ideal to use but from there id have to get the car out of there atleast but hopefully all the way back to the garage its in now and if we do it that way id need to get it into the trailer and out

We do have the pulley thing to pull dead cars into the trailer
