Re: let make a car specific thread(dsmers)
yup, thats the one I have and use.
The tool above looks like the one we use for the volkswagens, lol.
I actually was trying to get the threaded rod deal but ended up with the pulley tensioner one instead...but then realized I would need it to in the future, upon which I did multiple times!
BTW be very careful with the threaded rod you choose, I chose one that was a cheap material, and the bastard mushroomed on the end from the tension(doing cam installs without dissassembling lower cover assemblies..) produced by the tensioner, then sheared off when I went to remove it. Talk about a bitch to fix, getting that mount bracket off is no fun. The one I have now I think came from roadrace, its a stud/welded nut, but I've prolly used it about 30 times with no ill effects....

Re: let make a car specific thread(dsmers)
I change my cams last weekend and ran into a surprise on the exhaust cam journal.
Apparently some piece of metal got into the journal and gouged the cam and journal pretty badly. So now it is time for a new head. Anybody have a 6 bolt head they need to sell?
