tool source please!

I'm looking for a hydraulic lifter bleed down tool that will work on a 390.
There's a procedure for measuring valve lash that calls for this tool.

Any ideas, or have you ever heard of such a tool?

Thanks

Never heard of that, that's not saying much tho.. lol There was a common tool for that called the "P&G valve gapper" that was used for lots of different engines, but only solid lifters. Maybe they made an updated type for hyd. lifters.

If you had a Rotunda part number head to eBay and look around. There are quite a few sellers who have a ton of barely or gently used Rotunda tools taken from dealerships that were disposing of older tools or closed down altogether.
