Jesse,thanks again for your input.You are correct I am not yet comfortable with the tester but this morning I checked the springs on my bracket engine and found them to be somewhat closer together from the high to the low.Do you remember how much of a shim it took you to raise your psi to where you wanted them to be?One other issue I am having is I also purchased LSM's on head spring removal tool and cannot get all three bolts to start at the same time.I can either get the two end bolts or the center bolt to start but not all three at once.I hate to modify a brand new tool.Do you happen to have one of these and if so did you have this trouble?I have already double checked the part # on the box.Thanks again.
