FORDTECH Member 383 Member For: 21y 9m 11d Location: On the edge Posted 03/03/04 09:09 AM Share Posted 03/03/04 09:09 AM Peter, will your NSW distributers be getting the special tool?I heard it will be double the price to have them fitted otherwise.G'day owna , We are currently looking at making a number of these special tools so that our dealers interstate can change the valve springs without removing the cylinder head. I hope that the tool will be available in approx 4 weeks. :hiwelcome: PeterAPS Hey Peter,Why make the tool when they are redily available to buy.I'll check out the part number if you like and let you know.

FORDTECH Member 383 Member For: 21y 9m 11d Location: On the edge Posted 04/03/04 07:37 AM Share Posted 04/03/04 07:37 AM There is a seperate tool for each camshaft.The inlet tool :part no- 303-452 is about $240 and the exhaust tool :part no- 303-567 is about $100. They are available through a company called SPX Australia on 95446222.I dont know whether they are an exclusive tool supplier to Ford or if they sell to the general public.If you ring them I'm sure they'll let you know.
