Just about ready to do the AP2 valve spring retainer upgrade. I got the Buddy Club valve spring removal tool and was wondering if the bolts that hold the Buddy Club end brackets are the same bolts that hold down the cam brackets? Got the tool brand new with no instructions and would to find this out before I started. Do I need to get new bolts? Question answered: you have to take off the rocker assembly and you can use the cam hold down bolts. The tool works pretty good.

If it bolts into your head.. they SHOULD be the same bolts that hold the cam towers down...

Cause it wouldn't make any sense that they would use some different threading..

sweet tool btw.. i think ill pick one up..

nice tool...

too expensive for a diyer though....it's $350 for something that most people will use only once

it would be kinda cool to have one going around s2ki lol.. like start a thread for it orsomething, and have to deposit 300 to get it idk..
i want one so i can change my valve seals cause i dont like the brand i had to use..
n if u know anyone w. a k20, then ull have more uses for it.

in another words.. i might buy this off you when your done w. it hehe..

Looks like it'll take a very long time to get the job done with this tool. You mean you gotta bolt it down for every spring? or cylinder? Are you kidding me, it'll take at least 3 times longer.

No thanks

If you look carefully it slides so you can do intake side (2 each) and reconfigure it for exhaust side it
