one more reason to own a decent welder

heres the result of a guy who owns a welder,and needed a valve spring compressor.
(probably a mig welder, looking at the welds)
a guy that had a spare rocker and a spare wrench, and socket,and needed a valve spring compressor tool.
so with a bit of fabrication skill....

It may not function exactly the same or look all that professional in appearance but it costs nearly ZERO! and can get the job done it was made to do, so I think it was time well spent building it!

being deeply involved in hot rodding ,
and not having access to a welder,in your shop or at least a buddy that has one!

Did this a while back......

Material 1000 lb hand winch HF on sale 14.00, old chev timing chain and gears free, Alum stock 3.50 lb about 7 bucks worth, old cam slug free, and a days worth of my time, not worth much.......

first remove outer cable drum

drill out cam bearing to fit od of winch shaft and id of cam gear

Braise together

Cut inside and outside of coupling to match existing stand shaft
cam gear bolts to alum slug

Drill new pin hole and pin to shaft

assemble winch and gears and attach to stand with secure mounting points use at least 1/4" material

and wa la you have a cheap rotater for your engine stand
that will lock in either direction
