Anyone local happen to have the tool needed to torque down the heads on a two valver?

I have two torque wrenches: big and small. You're welcome to stop by and use or borrow them...as long as I get them back. I'm in SF.
Sweet! The offers much appreciated, though I was more looking for the
"Late Model Ducati Cylinder Head Nut Tool (15mm)" kinda thing half way down this page,
http://www.motoreva.com/tools.html (http://www.motoreva.com/tools.html)
Though, I hadn't seen that page before. I may just order one if there's nothing local. ;D
Combination wrench + socket + welder =

Required a little grinding on the box end to get it to fit in easily.
That Motoreva one looks pretty nice and is a good deal.
No FHE with that tool, but you may run into access problems on the vertical cylinder if the engine is in the frame.
I welded one up for Vindingo a while back. Pretty easy like Speeddog said. If you've got the pieces I've got the welder if you want to swing by sometime.
I'm looking for a valve spring compressor tool, anyone got one of those handy?

I *almost* bought one when I was going my Ninja rebuild, but then didn't. Depending on what the head you're working with looks like, you can make one with a piece of PCV and a C-clamp (see below). That said, I' recommend borrowing or buying one.

Like Don said, I have one. You are welcome to borrow it. PM if you need it
Sweet! Thanks guys!
I'll line up the last of the work I need done and ping you both to see who it would be easier to get from.
Probably beginning/middle of next week.
Weee!
