Default Pontiac head tool - for elongating push rod hole
$73.00 free shipping - purchase through eBay, or contact me directly at spotfam@verizon.net - I'm not accepting credit cards, just pay pal or mail in checks

I've been out for a long time, but just got these made again.
As seen in Jim Hands engine book

Yes, it needs to be flipped and bolted to the head. You want it close/tight to the head so the bit won’t try to flex and walk into the original slot.

If you Ebay search pontiac valve springs you can find Spotts selling, then use the sellers other items button to see all his auctions and theres NO Spott eye push rod tool auction at the time of this posting

Note this is a seven year old discussion that was just bumped to the top. My understanding is Spotts isn't making the tool anymore.

Well I feel like a boob! thanks for letting me know, I didn't even catch that. Paul did get back to me and said maybe by summer he will have another run.

I emailed Paul a year ago I think and he said he is not making any more of these. FYI
