That I could borrow for a week or two?

I'm rebuilding the top end of a d17a2.. head gasket failed a few months ago.
Got a really nice fel-pro gasket kit with all new valve stem seals, figure its a shame to leave the old ones in there and some of my intake valves sit high, I think I could benefit from lapping the valves..

Just wondering if anyone had one kicking around, before I invest in one, as this isn't a tool I will be using often!

Ive got drawers full of seldom used specialty tools, I don't even have room in my toolbox for anymore tools. It's more about not wanting to have to look at tools I dont use than not wanting to spend the 50 bucks on one.

I did miss that on princess auto. Maybe I will buy it and "not be completely satisfied with it".

Lol that's what I was getting at...or a "it wasn't the right one for my motorcycle engine"

I have a wicked piston ring compressor if anyone needs it

Yup.. You can rent anything from Part Source. I always use them for tools I use once in a blue moon (Spring compressors, tie rod tools, etc)

If they're open.

If it isn't broken.

If it will fit in your car.

I could see in the big city that might be a problem, but I don't think I've ever gone in there and not rented what I needed. Lucky? Perhaps.

Around here if they even carry that tool anymore you are lucky if a store near you has it. The last two I tried to get none were to be found.
Now a valve compressor tool isnt likely used much so he may be ok, but a lot of stores have cut down on what tools they have these days..so it may still be an issue. Its not a reliable option anymore...at least in my general area.

This is for part source or crappy. Some of the crappy tires I went to were down to a very small list of tools they still rent out.
