Default Cam installation Tools

all,

just wondering if anyone wants to do a loan a tool, or take a deposit to borrow or rent the tolls necessary for an M8 cam install....i am even up for buying outright if some wants///

looking for the following...
Jims Cam bearing tool
Jims runout tool
Jims "head on, spring remover"

if anyone wants, let me know, i plan to order them early next week when i return from a long weekend travels

I like FuelMoto's cam bearing tool because you don't have to measure depth for it. It's designed to put the bearing in at the proper depth without having to measure anything.

either brand is fine, just dont want a knock form amazon

here shortly i will have all of these, and possibly look to do the same for others if they desire. my schedule gets crazy, but having a dealer quote 2K just for the install is ridiculous, and that wont be happening.

2k for a stage 2?? Its a 3 hour job at most...then a full dyno usually around 500 to 800 depending where you're at. That's indy shop prices I mean. Yeah Harley might be that much....

He did say "head on spring remover" so I bet he needs high lift springs for his cam of choice. That will add substantially to dealer costs...

so, the dealer price for going with a 30/30 drop in...

since i even pondered that price, i decided to roll tool purchase into the mix and go with a F35A and springs, hence the HEAD ON TOOLs



WMPROF, i am currently in Louisianna for some time doing a project for an LNG plant. i am from the east side, but i do have family in KC that we visit or they come or way.
i will hit you up early next week and see what we can work out. i will traveling this weekend, but meeting the fam in tennesee.
