Coming soon is a newly redesigned compact automotive tool. This third version will be compatible for the N63TU, N62, N63 and even more twin cam engines. You can email Rick at rlr48@icloud.com for more information or to request a spot on the wait-list.

I look forward to hearing from you!

All tools are back in stock.

Recently we learned that the N62/N63 tool has been successfully used on many more engine repairs than it was originally designed for and include the following: BMW N52, M54, S52, S54, S85; N13 Peugeot Engine (used in the Mini Cooper); and all Subaru 16 valve 4 cylinder engines. If you know of more engines ( or have used it to repair others, please let us know.)

Thank-you!

I would like to thank everyone for their support and patience during the production phase of the updated N62/N63 compact automotive tool.

Special thanks goes to Brian Stolpa (an east coast technician) who initially asked for an N63 tool and provided the cylinder head to use for fittings. Brian also spread the word about the N62 and upcoming N63 on BMW technician forums and at BMW training sessions. Thank you Brian!~

Another special thank you goes to Jim Dvorak (on the west coast). Jim has been a very strong supporter of the  the Compact Double automotive tool and has shared this information with the BMW technical community. Thanks Jim!~

 At the request of a dealer technician that has an n62 tool and working closely with him, we have a solution for the n63 engine that is an evolution of the n62 tool. A prototype has been produced and successfully tested orders are piling up. Unfortunately the production cost has gone through the roof and I am forced to search for alternatives to keep things affordable and leading to production delays. We will have a very good alternative to the dealer tool fairly soon, no ratcheting wrenches required. Thanks for your patience.

Hello everyone, things are moving along and sales are picking up. I have recently connected with an old friend and colleague from our dealership days. For those that know him, it is Henry Truong, for those that don't know him you should. He is a good guy, a loyal friend and a great salesman. He has been immersed in the BMW culture for many years first as a technician then through management. Henry will be the West Coast distributor for us [ along with handling his other commitments].                            The Compact double valve  spring compressor is being well received and one of the purchasers states he can easily do the valve seal replacement in eight hours. Repair begining at 8:00 AM and customer driving home at 5:00 PM including an oil change. This is one of the very...
