Pair of those, got tired of the single 12v AGM and the low voltage issues and constant charging needed on my car without an alt. More cranking amps, half the weight, increased voltage.

Ordered some copper flatbar on ebay and made those bus bars. All fits in a standard battery box too :)

sick setup
 
I should have this numbered NIB Spyderco Euroedge on Tuesday. Can’t wait, I have had the Sub hilt for 10 years or so. This should be a nice addition.

I had to go to Texas to find a truck big enough for me! I’m driving it back now, I’m in Kingman, Arizona.

Edit: Ooops, bad pic (trying to work from phone sucks.)

Here's a better one.

Ha that's awesome. Those guys are local, kinda wanted to work there if I were closer.

you know, good tools are one of those things that dislike spending money on, but I dislike using shitty tools even more. I don't think i ever regret it once it shows up. These things are NICE and so far worth every penny. Couple little changes i'd make to the products but nothing I can't live with.
 
Oh hell yeah, that's just something that comes with age me thinks.
 
So are you just checking that the valve springs are in spec? Are you measuring closing force? Seat pressure?

Love the clear hoses btw. Seems like no brainer to make sure coolant is happy and not contaminated.

Was measuring seat pressure. Don't think there's a good way to measure open pressure while on the head, at least not with that tool. Had one bad spring, so i ordered new springs and the other two tools. New springs are a different spring rate than the springs on the heads and call for a different installed height, So I'm un shimming the spring seats as well. Kinda in a hover pattern right now actually. I was sitting on a set of keepers that i thought would work, but the actual lock portion of the keeper sits .100" higher than the installed keepers pushing my retainers and in turn my installed spring height down that same amount, which is the opposite direction of what i needed. So waiting on new keepers to finish this up.

Also clear hose goes to the vacuum pump. Kinda funny that you say that about the coolant tho, as it's so humid here you'd be surprised how much water ends up in that catch can. I initially thought i had a coolant leak of some sort as my oil was looking milky under the valve cover, but an oil change and look into the coolant system didn't reveal anything of the sort. In short I'm pretty sure I'm not getting my oil hot enough to burn off the moisture and the vac pump is pulling it all into the top of that head and the catch can.

Top picture shows where that hose really goes. 2nd picture just tricks the eyes
