New Tools from Hill Engineering!

The folks at Hill Engineering are always coming up with new and exciting tools for the professional Ferrari mechanic.   

Today, we are excited to finally receive the VST-01 Valve Seal Tool, and SOC-05 Gearbox Sump Plug socket.   Although it might seem esoteric that Ferrari parts like these can even find a market, they indeed have widespread appeal in the Ferrari community.   Professional Ferrari mechanics often require very specialized tools -- they make the job go faster, and more importantly, they protect the integrity of very expensive and hard to source parts.   Chiseling off a ring nut on a Ferrari just doesn't make sense when the ring-nut itself can cost upwards of $100. 

So, here are today's goodies:

VST-01: Valve Seal Tool

This tool was designed to overcome the problem of correctly installing valve stem seals. The seal is simply inserted onto the tool (see picture below) and the tool is then inserted into the valve guide. The seal is now perfectly square to the location diameter and with a small amount of pressure on the end of the tool, the seal is installed effortlessly, without damage.  Do it right the first time, with professional tools from Hill Engineering. (This tool is for Ferrari F355 and LATER valve seals)
