Looking to borrow a valve spring install height mesuring tool if anyone has one they wouldnt mind lending me. I literally only need it for one day and would be happy to pay for its use if anyone can help me out.
Thanks Steve

Hi Steve
you can make a little tool out of a hacksaw blade, if you make dimension A bigger than what your spec book says you can then carefully grind away until you get to your required dimension. The spring cap will sit on top of the tool and the bottom of the tool will sit on the spring bottom retainer.
Kind Regards

John I'm disappointed in you. That drawing doesn't comply with BS8888 standards
