Head valve removal/spring compression tool

I couldn't find searching the forum so here is a direct question.

Internet offers a bunch of spring compression tools, but I just don't know which one would work. Any suggestions?

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationYou will probably be happy with this one.



I modified a 12" C clamp with a machined piece similar to what's on the end of the listed tool above. It's crude but got the job done.

Yes... I can't find the 'edit' my post as well. I had to rewrite my posts and actually just scrap a few and a bunch of photos and it says I have no access to one of them. That's on the side note.

I will search for the one you suggest. I just spent another hour cleaning the head and I am sooo ready to pull the valves. And just now I was blow drying the head after a shower in hot water.

I might take a 1.5 inch ling piece of pipe and cut it in similar way, then use a clamp. Of course I will update about the progress.

Go for the 'Plunger' style tool, it's way faster than the "C-clamp' method.
