new thread was made...what mods do i have...per request of red

 

Good, now lets keep this one on track and related to this thread.

 

Well I finished the tool today looks like it will work great and my 6.1L springs and push rods showed in the mail so my only ? now is does anybody know the torqe spec for the rocker arm tubes?

 

Look at the bottom of this thread and it is in there

Sory, something got messed up with my thread subscription and just saw your post. The only e-mail I have on him is camberadam@comcastdotnet. I have e-mailed him about a resolution on the tool that I bought from him and not one reply, even after sending 4 referrals his way. Good luck.

 

Ive got two of the valve spring tools if anyone is looking for one.....just PM me.

 

Awesome thread guy's, read it from page one. It may be useful to me, my truck (03) just started knocking this evening, I am hoping, praying this is my problem as well and nothing on the bottom end. And weedahoe, I may just be needing that tool.lol

 

I also have one of those tools. Prob not gonna use it again.

 

No worries, just LMK when you are ready.

Yeah, they are kinda a one time use type tool but damn if they are not hard to find and get when you need one......LOL

 

Thanks everyone for their input. Just got my springs changed and the truck is runnign great, broken exhaust vave on cylinder 8. Changed them all for the 6.1 exhaust valves and the 6.1 push rods from Hensonmotorsports. Made a world of difference removing the brake booster, great tip and much easier to work on. Thanks to weedahoe for the tool. One tip to the spark plugs is to put dielectric grease on them before you put it in the spark plug socket with the rubber retainer, it will then slide right offafter you tighten it down.
Thanks again everyone.
