    Man, I feel like a lot of people missed the point of this video. Yeah, you need the tools to do it, but if you're the DIY type, chances are you have already invested in these tools. So it makes more sense to use what you invested in vs going out and buying some expensive spring compressor to do the job.

    I was playing with similar ideas I’d seen years ago, but am losing patience in my old age (50’s). I’m not so impatient to pay someone else, but if I’m going to MacGyver something, I now look to TH-cam for somewhere to start. You my friend have all he characteristics of a “TINKERER”. You pulled things apart as a kid and sometimes couldn’t get them back together. By the power vested in me by the ITSBITS (International Tinkerers Society of Bloody Interesting Thinking Solvers). I pronounce you a Master Tinkerer, Automobile Mechanical, Engines. And that’s based on this one video. Welcome to the tinkerer community, All Hail MacGyver, this meeting now adjourned.

    Well worth it for him n people in his situation .. Found some for $ 17 free shipping if you have the time n money.. Hand clamp n press on without taking off the head . just single one at a time . the sell double ones for $35-55 free shipping some are bolt on like in the video.

    WoooooW. I wish I saw this earlier, but it is still going to be very useful. I modified a tool already, but this is much better. I'm going to go with the nut route, it should make it super easy.

    VATS & base tune
    If you live in the Atlanta area I disable the VATS security for LS swapped vehicles and provide a base tune that will disable other non used features on the PCM.

    I made me one and put a 12mm craftsman socked on the end of the clamp. Hooks to 3/8 drive impact now.

    The threads on the c clamp are tapered and smooth for easy turning but you can us a large nut and a bolt by adding a stationary handle to the bolt

  • @trevorcolin755
    @trevorcolin755 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have a dremel and i'd buy a clamp, but i'm not sure if jb weld would work? I'm not welding all that. But if you want to ship me that, i'll ship it back(?)

  • @curtmartini66
    @curtmartini66 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow!
    Going to the store and buying a gold plated spring compressor would end up being cheaper than all the other tooling and welder along with fabrication time.
    But great work.

    • @Shane_Whalley
      @Shane_Whalley  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I mean, my welder and fabrication equipment has probably paid for itself 10x over at this point. 🤷‍♂️

    • @Shane_Whalley
      @Shane_Whalley  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s super laggy on the 4294r but pulls pretty hard on top end. Dialed it in at about 14lbs of boost.

  • @Snailmailtrucker
    @Snailmailtrucker 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice design...how about you cut the top of the Bolt....thread 2 Nuts into each other on the top so that you can Ratchet the pressure on and off...or better yet use a socket on an Impact tool and eliminate the turning the C clamp Twisty thing !

    • @matthewstorm5188
      @matthewstorm5188 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You could easily do this without a welder. Instead of using the C clamp, you could cut a similar shaped piece from steel or aluminum plate. The bottom would then be bolted to the plate that is between the rocker mounts. And you would tap a hole for a bolt that would press down on the plate that presses the retainers.

    @adrianovergara2942 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you need to cut a tool and spend time drilling and welding I think it's better of buying a proper tool because if you're doing that for a living pretty sure your customers wouldn't be impressed at all.

    • @rossspear-martin1577
      @rossspear-martin1577 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      How do you think the 'proper' tools came about?? By someone having an idea and building it in their garage(like he just did), then selling their tool idea to a tool company.....

    • @muffpipe84

      Adriano Veragara, you must be naive to think that all the tools out there just magically appeared one day..... SMH this literally is how specialty tools came about. People got creative just because you lack the skills to do the same doesnt mean everyones ideas are bad ones. #builtnotbought
