    Valve spring compressor tips

    Putting my head back together and got one of these totally awesome universal pieces of crap: Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1356075204.120891.jpg Views: 1 Size: 10.1 KB ID: 7230083

    And I'm finding it almost impossible to fit the springs on the exhaust side. Anybody have any tips? Do I have to go borrow the c-clamp style?

        take that back and get the big C clamp type. Try to find an advance auto they have free tool rental for 30 days. (you get your money refunded)

        No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

          Went to Sears... Got the clamp style and was laughing the rest of the day. Best $37 ever spent. Now lets see if they will take it back...

            I bought mine at Sears 2 years ago as well. $19.99 was the price. I am on my third one already. They seem to last about 10-15 heads or so. Then the handle somehow bends and grinds against the frame inbetween it. Good thing with Craftsman tools is the free lifetime exchange.

            Here is another option:
