Title: Tool Request! Post by: Jammen on October 14, 2008, 05:45:19 AM Anyone local happen to have the tool needed to torque down the heads on a two valver?

[evil] I have two torque wrenches: big and small. You're welcome to stop by and use or borrow them...as long as I get them back. I'm in SF. Title: Re: Tool Request! Post by: Jammen on October 14, 2008, 06:57:53 AM Sweet! The offers much appreciated, though I was more looking for the
"Late Model Ducati Cylinder Head Nut Tool (15mm)" kinda thing half way down this page, http://www.motoreva.com/tools.html (http://www.motoreva.com/tools.html) Though, I hadn't seen that page before. I may just order one if there's nothing local. ;D Title: Re: Tool Request! Post by: Speeddog on October 14, 2008, 09:29:47 AM Combination wrench + socket + welder =
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3121/2782054367_e55bbcf36e_o.jpg) Required a little grinding on the box end to get it to fit in easily. That Motoreva one looks pretty nice and is a good deal. No FHE with that tool, but you may run into access problems on the vertical cylinder if the engine is in the frame. Title: Re: Tool Request! Post by: TCK! on October 14, 2008, 09:55:15 AM I welded one up for Vindingo a while back. Pretty easy like Speeddog said. If you've got the pieces I've got the welder if you want to swing by sometime.
I'm looking for a valve spring compressor tool, anyone got one of those handy? Title: Re: Tool Request! Post by: Spidey on October 14, 2008, 10:30:01 AM I'm looking for a valve spring compressor tool, anyone got one of those handy? I *almost* bought one when I was going my Ninja rebuild, but then didn't. Depending on what the head you're working with looks like, you can make one with a piece of PCV and a C-clamp (see below). That said, I' recommend borrowing or buying one.
