This is by far the quickest, easiest and most accurate way to measure valve spring installed height. You install our Height Mic just like you would a valve spring, then expand the tool until it has seated the valve, locks and retainer.
This simulated seat pressure allows ultra precise readings. The tool is then read like a micrometer and is accurate to .001". Covers most V8s.

The most highly attended class we offer is called EFI 101.
EFI 101 consists of a total of 1˝ days and focuses mainly on classroom discussions followed by an actual live tuning demonstration on a dynomometer. This class begins with a general overview of the basic functions and theory involved in controlling an engine using electronic fuel injection.
In depth discussions about each sensor and actuator used, and their functions are held throughout the session with emphasis on interaction between students and instructors to ensure that everyone understands each concept before progressing to the next.

Vanderbilt was one of the original Damsels of Design – a group of eight, great talented female designers that the famed Harley Earl hired during the early days of the 1950s.
Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.
I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public.
