I was about to bite the "rather large" bullet and buy an LSM. Seeing this post makes me want to take a look at the MTI. Granted, I don't do enough head work to really need a pneumatic compressor, but if the price is anywhere within range of the LSM, why not consider it?  And for Heaven's sake, don't ANYBODY buy one of those $29 generic YingYang units off Amazon!  (Chad works on more heads than most on these boards, so I consider his comment to be based on positive experience). Got a MTI P/N, Chad?

MTI is only about $675 more than the LSM. Why not?  ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

And I thought the LSM was overpriced, lol.  (In this Biden economy, what ISN'T overpriced)  Dan "Jim" Moore Much too young to feel this damn old!! | |||

The LSM is great, and I use the head-on compressor on the bench as well although you need to stuff something in the chamber on the bench to hold the valve up. It works pretty well. The only issue with the head-on compressors are they are application-specific, while the head-off compressor will work with any type of cylinder head. If you're only working on your own stuff, it's not a problem. Tony Leonard | |||

I have had this for 20+ years. Compressor Used it maybe 10 or 12 times but has to be quicker then moving the LSM from valve to valve.  | |||

That one works on lower pressure springs, large triples, not so much! Cheap alternative to the LSM off the head one is using a large C clamp with a small modification. | |||

For my shop I bought a Sunnen CHW-50. You can talk on the phone as you work. It used to take 40 min. and two sets of hands to do a 16V VW. Now it's less than half that and only one guy. It does the big 900# over the nose springs no issues. Not quite the bracket racer budget but a must for business. | |||

I just picked up two of these at a local machine shop closing sale, not sure of the brand but they are made in the USA. $40 each | |||

This compressor is well made. I think maybe the company has disappeared though.  ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||
