OK fellows, where do I need to go...

[J.D. Blackwell]

....take this da*n motor to get the valves changed on it. I live in the country....this is redneck country out here. I can't find anyone with the proper tools to change them out. The heads are bolted to the block. I need someone to air the cylinders up and change these springs. I will carry it to Dallas if necesary. That is all I need to keep me from installing it. Who do I need to carry it to and what is the #......help.:(

I've got a 60 gallon air compressor and air chuck attachment for threading into a spark plug hole and a valve spring compressor and a garage, but I would not be able to lend a hand, but you can borrow my garage all day Thursday if you want. I live near Doug...

The spark plug threader thing has *ONLY* been used on a Chevy LS1, as well as the valve spring compressor - I have not a clue if it will work on the L motor.... you supply the parts, I'll supply the air and garage at least...

Lemme know if you need it.

I may take you up on that....is the threads the same on the LS1 and Lightning heads??? I have a shop with the compressor, etc..., EXCEPT the valve spring tools. No one around here has them. You have to have 2 special tools to change the springs correctly on a over head cammed motor. I have the part #s, but can't order them cause the are on serious backorder.
I know a Ford dealership in Dallas will have these tools, but may not let me borrow them. Maybe they will do them for me.....but what dealership?

Dunno if the thread size is the same or not, but you can borrow the air chuck spark plug threader thing if ya need. I don't think my valve spring compressor will work - but maybe use what the Cobra guys are using ? corral.net ...

Give Rob a call I am sure he can assist you in this. Also he will be much cheaper than a dealer service dept!
