AFM tappet tool

[wht87gt]

Have any of you guys ever used these tappet tools from Anderson Ford? Or better yet made a set of your own? They're like $50 and I bet they can be made for a lot less. I'm going to be swapping out my e-cam soon and these would make that job A LOT easier.

They work good. I just pulled the bcam out of my car the other week and i used them. 30mins to do a cam change with them.

So once you get the new cam in how do you get the tools out of the engine without pulling the lifters right out of there bores? Am I over looking something?

On roller motors, There is a spider and dog bones that hold the lifters in there bores. So after the cam is in just pull the tools out.

What cam are you going with?

I'm not 100% sure yet. I have a TFS stage 1 cam that will work well with my current setup. But I'm also thinking about a custom cam from FTI or AFM. I'm just not sure I want to spend the money on a custom grind when I have the TFS1 cam sitting the garage. I do know that I want to get rid of the damn e-cam one way or the other.

I like the tfs1. That is what i ran in my old motor. This new motor I was running b-cam in it and it sucked. I just swaped it out for an e-cam (free). I'am trying to work out a deal with my buddy to get his 347 kit, If i don't get it Im going to be pulling the e-cam out and geting another tfs1.

Most people seem to like the TFS1 cam and most people hate the e-cam (including me). I will most likely end up using the TFS1 and save the money I would've spent on a custom cam. I'd like to buy a PMS from Anderson Ford this spring so every penny will help.
