I bought this LSM valve spring compressor to pull apart my cylinder heads.  Works great!  Very smooth, stable, and controllable; It is easy to work with and much more rigid than I had expected, even with heavier Vasco roller springs.  I only bought the stud-mount base adaptor, but adaptors are available for just about every engine/rocker combination.  Money well spent if you intend to pull a lot of valve springs.

I bought 4 new rims and tires today. I went up in size from 205/75/14 to 205/75/15. The trailer drags it's ass on every driveway. I wanted a little taller tire to get off the ground. I paid $345 for all 4 tires mounted on rims. I also changed my oil. On Saturday, my wife and I drive up to JetBoatPerformance and drop it off. We are getting a new Dominator style energizer pump with a hydraulic pd. we are very excited to hit the water this year!
My old rims will be up for grabs if anyone needs them. I also have the hubcaps. The tires aren't bad either. Lug pattern is 5x4.5.

Spent the whole afternoon tearing apart my pump. It was extremely frustrating... First the nut on the impeller would not come off no matter what I tried, heat, wd, 1" impact wrench, wrench with a 5' cheater bar... Finally cut it off with the die grinder. Then my impeller wouldn't come off and my puller kept slipping off messing up the little ridge there. Ended up cutting that off too since it got trashed when my bearing went out. Anyways as it is now I'm in the market for a suction housing and impeller.

That sucks! I had the opposite problem, the bowl bolts were somewhat loose, I took the impeller nut off by hand, and the impeller came off by hand :screwy: :screwy: Think I got lucky

Looking good Jake. Got a little seat time today and went down to check out the crazys(spring breakers) on the channel. And a couple high speed hits between the channel and the launch.  Just enough to get the blood flowing!!!
