So I'm trying to get this cummins valve spring compressor tool and the guys at the parts counter say they don't order them. They give me the name of some service manager and I can't get alhold of this guy for nothing.

Anybody order cummins tools online? Where do you get them?

Thanks for any and all help.

The original tool was very pricey4-500 the replacement is under 2 but you may want to check w the guys that are selling springs and cams........may be a better way to go

I got mine at my local cummins dealer. He had to order it, but it only took a couple days.

Make sure to lube the threads before use! A little ARP moly lube works very well.

It's a flat plate with 4 holes in it and a bolt. So I'm doubting that.



Anybody else?

How much did you pay for yours?

What did everybody pay at the dealership for these things?

UnrulyNFS

That's hilarious!! You can't type "st, ea l, er" ship without getting the *********** instead.

Probably paid too much.You could get the one from Tool Source and sell it when your done.Thats what I plan on doing.

my cummins shop told me $160...and they had to order it.
what the story with the tool source one???? that part number does not even come up if you search it at the OTC website.
is it the real cummins compressor or is it something else??

Try a Miller 8319. Worked great for me. http://www.toolsource.com/valve-spri...=trafficleader

not to jack the thread, but is all you need are a set of springs for 4K rpms safely? how does the stiffer springs act with the stock cam? is it rough on the stocker?
