VW-Audi tools,fabricating

[Beatty, Robert]

Not sure about all tools, but Sears has a decent section of automotive tools
including honing tools and valve spring compressors that i saw when buying
my replacement set of tools this weekend.  I dont know if that application
would work in Audi/vw specifically, but its prolly worth at least checking
out.

Well, I dunno what Zelinda charges, but from my 4cyl VW roots I know that
Techtonics Tuning sells many tools, including the valve seal pliers,
installers,
etc. Most tools should work on your motor too. Here's their website.

The valve spring compressor is $109, so that's not _very_ cheap, but much
less
than the labor to have someone else do it. 

The guys at TT are super nice and friendly. They're old school in the VW
tuning
bid-ness. Give them a call for any questions (their site is not the greatest
for
information, IMO).

HTH,
