Description:
As you performance guys know, the only way to compress the Cummins 5.9 valve springs is to use a Lisle or KD tool. They are fine tools but require twice the work because you have to do one valve at a time. The job gets much more difficult when you tackle number 5 and 6 cylinders. The limited clearance under the Dodge Ram cowl makes it very difficult to use these tools in this confined space.
The CVSC020 is only one inch taller than the valve springs, which gives you more room to work, on the back two cylinders of your 12 valve. And you can replace your Cummins performance valve springs in less than half the time!
Benefit:
1.The tool may look simple but it's a heavy duty, highly engineered tool. The most difficult part of the design process was getting the locations correct and provide clearance for the valve springs.
2.The real beauty of this tool is the tapered cones on the top compressor plate. Our new design features a hardened aluminum plate that is super strong. Most techs will use a magnetic pencil to remove the valve keepers. Your mag pencil won't stick to the compressor plate.
Usage Method:
Installation of the keepers on your Cummins 12V is super easy, even on #5 and #6 cylinders. You simply adjust the height of the compressor plate, place a keeper on the tapered cone, and slide the keeper onto the valve stem. IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER THAN THAT!!
This is what you get in the CVSC020 kit:
One machined bridge and hardened top plate, mounting hardware and a 6mm Allen wrench along with complete instructions. The tool will pay for itself in time savings alone!
