Thanks fellas ill check out George's.

the other place is 1/2 the price and the same quality and when I ordered my set thru them I had the tools in a couple of days as they send flat rate priority mail.

I bought these from mbsmfg on eBay. Fast, efficient service that I was pleased with.

10% discount for HTT members as well. Top notch tools also.  :up:

But the guy is asking for cam plate tools.. While these are nice..

A socket works just as well in the press.. With the 640s you don't have chains so you can install them one at a time.. The Hot plate method works well for installing the bearings into the cam plate..

It wasn't my link, just agreeing the place sells nice tools. They have a lot of what Jim's and George's have at half price. And they're made in the US.

And while I agree there is more than one way to do it, the OP asked about buying a tool.  :wink:

Ummm yeah, sorry Max...that was a link I posted, I should have read more carefully  :embarrassed:
But as Coyote said, they sell what seem to be nice tools.
I just want to add, I bought the following tools from msbmfg and the automated shipping price quotes were pretty expensive but when I emailed them they were able to do a great deal on shipping, I think it was under $60 for everything shipped to Japan. This was amazing to me as I'm used to getting screwed big time by sellers on eBay, you know... buy something, pay their quoted shipping and end up seeing that I've paid anywhere up to 10 times the actual cost of shipping...I guess that's what some call, "handling fees"  :dgust:
Anyway, their good, communication, good tools and fast shipping impressed me....I didn't even know about their 10% off for HTT members.  :emoGroan:
