engine valve compressor?
What generic compressor tool are you using? And where do you buy it?
I know that not everyone out there will fit our heads with the valves hanging at an angle.
Nylon staffed sockets does not work for me, either.
Thanks.

Re: engine valve compressor?
I recently used this Motion Pro valve spring compressor on my R50/2 heads. I don't think it could have worked any better or made the job any easier. It is perhaps in the "crazy expensive" category, but it sure looks like trick kit.

Thanks for the picture
Mine worked but it was hard to insert the valve stem keepers
Before I use it again will enlarge the cutout hole in the socket to have more clearance to remove and install the valve keepers

Re: engine valve compressor?
Looks like a very nice tool
As often as I may need one,just a sea clamp,vise,and a junk socket, works fine
