Looking to borrow Valve spring compressor and seal remover/installer

[ActionBastard]

Title, Let me know if anyone in the area would be willing to loan me these tools. Need to do my headgasket and figured i might as well do my valve seals while this is out. Thanks!

Valve seals can be installed with an appropriately sized socket.

As far as a valve spring compress, I HIGHLY recommend this style:

I made one by simply drilling holes in a 1/4" thick plate and used tubing as spacers. No need for the recessed pockets. I attached a picture with measurements.

The m20 is a bit different, not sure how well that would work.


I have had one of the c-clamp styles for years, don't remember paying a lot for it at the local box parts store.
