Valve Spring Tester
An engine valve spring tester tool is a specialized device used to measure the tension of valve springs in an internal combustion engine. This tool is typically used to ensure that each valve spring in the engine is operating at the correct tension, which is critical for proper valve timing and engine performance. The valve spring tester tool works by compressing the spring to a predetermined height and measuring the amount of force required to achieve this compression. The valve spring test reading is then compared to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure that the spring is within tolerance. The valve spring tester tool may include various adapters and attachments to accommodate different spring sizes and types, and may also include a dial or digital display to indicate the tension reading. The use of a valve spring tester tool is especially important in high-performance engines where the valve train is subject to extreme forces and stresses, and where even a slight variation in spring tension can have a significant impact on engine performance and longevity.

When choosing a valve spring tester, first confirm the height as well as the outside and inside diameter of the springs that need to be tested. Next verify the pressure of the springs that the tester will need to be able to measure. From the measurements and remaining compatible valve spring tester options, choose the tool that will best meet your needs as well as your budget.
