🔧 Why You Need This Tool
Changing valve springs on a Barra engine usually means removing the head — unless you have the right tool for the job. The Atomic On-Car Valve Spring Tool eliminates that hassle by allowing you to compress springs with the head still on the engine, using compressed air to hold the valves shut.
Compared to imitations, this is the real deal: stronger, faster, and precision-built specifically for Barra engines. If you're upgrading springs or freshening up a head while the engine is still in the car, this tool will save you hours.
