View Full Version : Tools and Machines Tools for doing a rebuild.


Gairloch08-15-2007, 02:34 PMI'm preparing to rebuild my 5sfe and trying to figure out what tools I'm going to have to buy. I have a pretty good collection of basic hand tools but could use some feedback on whatever else I'll need so I don't get stuck looking for something mid-project.

Was thinking about this for the valves: Lisle 36200 - Valve Keeper Remover & Installer (http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/lis36200.html)

What will I need for working with the piston rings? Anything else special for rebuilding the bottom end? TomsMR208-15-2007, 10:38 PMlisle makes cool stuff. they make a LOT of specialty tools, and they're generally pretty good quality.

you can remove keepers without using the tool, but ill be damned if ive found a way to reinstall them without it. it would certainly be a good investment!

you'll need a ring expander. get a cheap crappy one, they all do the same thing. my 5 dollar kragen special works as good as a snap-on one. same with ring compressors. unless you plan on doing it frequently, you dont really need expensive expander/compressors. the expander is for installing rings on the piston, and the compressor squeezes them on the piston to allow you to install them back in the block.

you will need 2 torque wrenches. an inch pounds 5-200 or so, and a ft/lbs in the range of 10-100 or so (usually more like 10-70). i like both of those in 3/8th drive.. but no reason you cant use 1/4 drive for the inch pound one. a lot of people get 1-100 ft/lbs 3/8th torque wrenches, they're basically useless for a rebuild!

measuring stuff is always nice.. but its so damn expensive that for a one time shot it would be cheaper to pay the machine shop to check your crank/block for roundness and taper. my one caliper and dial bore gauge was almost 200 bucks, more than the shop would have charged me for an inspection. 2restomod03-25-2008, 02:07 PMdelete. Looks like the tool you mentioned for valves is a lot cheaper and probably does as good a job! For the pistons though, you will need a good ring remover/installer and also a ring compressor for putting the pistons back in the block. I just used Craftsman stuff for that and it works fine.
