Two questions. Are you making these yourself? If so, have you considered modifying it so it works with other heads (AFR, etc.). I have the original and modified so it worked on my previous Dart heads and my current AFR heads. Still works on GM heads. Just seems the market would increase with this capability.

With sales volume will determine if we should make other versions, however we are rather flexible, I think an L92/LS3 would be next version available.

did you buy the rights to the crane tool when they got auctioned off? i know you guys and crane had a few ties. it's cool that you did revive the tool.

Glad someone is picking up this tool. If I had a L92 and a LS7 head (or dimensions) I could get my friend to draw up a new spring tool up in Solidworks or Pro-E to use on these heads unless you have already started doing that.

LS7 spring tool would be difficult to make, the rocker bosses are kind of a cluster. 12º valve angle will leave you starting at scratch.
We made this on mastercam, its not easy as it looks, a few unit runs are not worthwhile, we had 100 of these made first run.
