[05FLHTC]

Will this work...not like I'm gonna be using it daily.  Just was wondering if ya all think this might get the job done for occasionally use on TC heads?

You may get keepers out, I can see it being bitch putting it back together with that tool. Just saying

A friend who works on a lot of V8's has one and for those it works well,  I put it alongside a TC Head a few years ago and shook my head.

No, more trouble than what it's worth.

This is what I use and I added a bar to the handle to ease compressing.  I clamp it in a vise right now by I wana either make a table top stand or mount it to a wall.

I got one I used to use on V-8 stuff a couple decades back, not sure it will even have enough clearance in a twin cam head

Might just want to build one if you have a press, mill or heavy duty drill press...

 You might go to your local auto parts store and rent one or maybe just the deposit.   Then look for one at a swapmeet or garage sale.

Here's one I had to make for a wicked set of S&S drag race heads. My regular S/C wouldn't budge em.



This is the part that depresses the retainer down. I TIG welded it to the C-clamp
