Out of control bidding on an LT-5 Tool Kit

[LGAFF]

I believe that JEffvette said you can land the entire kit for around $600 off the Registry....this one is at $760

You can't buy the LT5 tool kit anymore from anyone, the kit that "was" on the registry was being sold by Bill Kirchoeffer & now no more. Besides, those prices still shown on the registry are a good 5 years old.

Amazing it reached that kind of money already, haven't people heard of snipping?

Glad, I picked up my crank position tool cheap! I still wonder who came in and bought up the rest of the those.....when I spoke to the guy he had 40 left, I bought another and they were all gone.

Kurt, Bill is still selling the kits. Polo - 1 just bought one.

Jeff,

is Bill selling the entire kit still then for $641.00? Last time i spoke to him about them he didn't have some items.

I got mine from Bill a little while ago, before Kevin had his even. how many 'tools' are supposed to be in the O.E.M. 'Kent-Moore' kit, Kurt?

[Polo-1]

Bill still is making the kits. The price is up 15% from the old price listed ($641).

The set on bay has 18 of the 25 tools listed for the LT5. Bill's set is the must have kit ( to rebuild ) with 13 tools for $ 738.

Bid is at $800, I think it will go to $1000+ like the last set $1100+

Mad money, over $1200.00

[Polo-1]

Well not really.

The tools you still can buy from Kent Moore. You have to buy them one at a time, no more kit form.

The total ( minus the the front cover seal driver N/A ) $2446.

And you dont get the pretty blue box:wink:

So $1000-1200 for used not so bad.

What did you pay from Speck Chevrolet ( my backyard ) I was tring to get the tools from them for months.

I got one when I saw your post before:thumbsup:, it was weird though cause the link you had made it look like they weren't available and then from messing around and signing into e and doing a search for them they came up but then the next day they weren't there anymore.

I just kinda wanted one for history, but it would make the rebuild easier for a starting point, I used degree wheel for timing.

It would be nice to have the oil pump alignment tool, took me about 6 hours to align that thing since I didn't have the tool. Only not sure but think you have to take the graphite seal out to use the tool and then it might get damaged and since not available normally:icon_scradid get one when Kurt had them on sale though but it's gettin saved for emergency.
