engine valve compressor?

Post by Micha »

Hello,
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.

Good afternoon, Michael!

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

James, Jim
Looks like a very nice tool
As often as I may need one,just a sea clamp,vise,and a junk socket, works fine
