Facom U.43LA Inertia Valve Lifter

The Facom U.43LA Inertia Valve Lifter is a precision tool designed for the efficient removal and installation of valve springs in automotive engines. Its unique inertial mechanism allows mechanics to lift valve springs with minimal effort, reducing the risk of damage to both the spring and the engine block.

Key Features

• Inertial Lifting Action: The tool employs a carefully calibrated inertial system that absorbs shock when lifting valve springs, ensuring smooth operation even on high‑tension springs.
• Slide Hammer Integration: A built‑in slide hammer provides controlled impact force, enabling the removal of stubborn or corroded springs without excessive manual force.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑strength steel and engineered for longevity, the U.43LA withstands repeated use in demanding workshop environments.
• Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of engine types, including inline‑4, V‑6, and V‑8 configurations, with spring diameters up to 34 mm.
• Ergonomic Design: The handle is contoured for comfortable grip, reducing operator fatigue during extended service sessions.

Technical Specifications

Applications in Automotive Service

The U.43LA is indispensable for tasks such as:

• Removing valve springs from high‑performance engines where traditional spring pullers may fail.
• Installing new or replacement springs with precise alignment to avoid misfit and potential engine damage.
• Performing routine maintenance on timing chains, camshafts, and valve train components.

Operational Procedure

1. Preparation: Secure the engine block to prevent movement. Position the U.43LA so that its lifting head aligns with the valve spring.
2. Engagement: Place the tool’s footplate against the spring and activate the inertial mechanism by applying a controlled downward force.
3. Lifting: The inertial system absorbs initial impact, then releases stored energy to lift the spring smoothly.
4. Slide Hammer Activation: Once the spring is elevated, use the slide hammer to apply gentle taps if the spring remains stuck.
5. Removal or Installation: Carefully extract the spring or insert a new one, ensuring proper orientation and tension.

Maintenance Tips

• After each use, clean the tool’s contact surfaces to remove metal shavings and oil residues.
• Inspect the slide hammer mechanism for wear; replace any worn components promptly.
• Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the steel body.
