Default Tool Options for Checking Roller Springs with Head On?

Hey Everybody,

What are some options for Roller Spring checking tools with heads on - more on the budget side?

Thanks, Craig

The Moroso valve seat pressure tester will be a lower price unit.

We check new valve springs before they are installed with a Rimac machine at their verified installed height with their retainers in place.
NEVER trust the published figures !
Once the baseline pressure is known from the bench tester we use a LSM tester and monitor them while on the cylinder heads.
And note they can vary slightly as measured on the cylinder heads vs a bench tester.
