Vargas "Head Handler" Cylinder Head Lifting Tool - Red - Long - BMW N54/N55/S55

Product Details

Designed for the high-volume BMW specialist, the VTT "Head Handler" eliminates the struggle and safety risks associated with manually lifting heavy cylinder heads. This tool is engineered to provide the necessary clearance for removing or installing heads while the camshafts and cam ledges are still in place. By utilizing the factory mounting points, this tool ensures the head remains perfectly balanced during the lift, preventing the common (and expensive) mistake of dragging the head across a fresh multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, it provides a rock-solid grip that keeps your hands away from pinch points and oily surfaces.

Key Features

• Camshaft Clearance: Specifically designed with long extensions to allow for head removal/installation with cams still installed.

• Precision Balance: Engineered to find the center of gravity for N54, N55, S55, and B58 heads for a level lift.

• Non-Slip Ergonomics: Features a deep knurled texture on the handle to ensure a secure grip even when hands are covered in oil or coolant.

• Gasket Protection: Allows for a perfectly vertical drop during installation, protecting the delicate sealing layers of the head gasket.

• Anodized Durability: Finished in a vibrant Red Type II anodizing for long-term corrosion resistance and high visibility in a busy shop.
