There are two valve springs compressed with this small Whenever I ride a motorcycle or a motocross bike, I use mine. If you are going to work on an V8 engine of a car or truck, I would recommend using a bigger and stronger valve spring compressor.
On my big hemi truck heads, I think it would have worked well. You really get your money's worth out of this
The D16 Honda/Acura valve springs work fine on mine. But I don't have a dirtbike. *If you want to clamp it in, you have to remove the head.
While I would reccomend Schley Products Universal OHC Valve Spring Compressor (SLY-SLY), I do not currently have one. The 91400B number

I highly recommend this tool for the price! Even though it's not the best tool on the market, it does the job for a lot less money. You're going to be surprised to learn a little secret from me. Give the "cage" part of this tool solid whack with a rubber mallet by placing it on top of the valve spring retainer while it's not attached to the worm gear yet. The spring can now easily be compressed and the keepers can easily be removed. It did not deform when I was compressing a 400 in/lb spring with comp cams (such as a spring-loaded camshaft). Since they are Olds 455 heads, this tool is capable of removing heads from everything from 125cc motorcycles to big "Mercian V8" engines.
I chose the easiest method of getting a tool to remove the bent intake valve from my 1999 VW Passat V6. You can find many ways to remove it on YouTube. It is true that there are many valve removal tools available however, I choose this particular tool due to its affordability. What could be worse, right? For under $20, what could be worse? My only comment about this tool is that it does an excellent job, saving me hours getting the keepers and putting them back. A possible example This tool does not come with instructions, but it is very simple to use. Place one end of it with the extension bolt on top of the valve, and the other with the extension bolt on top of Compress it again, the valve keepers will begin to pop out, use a magnet to remove both of them. all there is to How wonderful it is to have this tool. I highly recommend it to anyone who could use it. Considering the price of this tool, the quality built of this tool is above average, no bending issues as reviewed by others. This tool doesn't seem to pose any problems for me.
The tool isn't pretty, it has to be said. It was used for the removal and replacement of 12 valves in my TR6 head. As far as I can tell, it does what it was set up to do It is good that no damage is done during the process. In my opinion, the blow-up feature is the best part of this tool My tool cabinet is housed in a molded plastic case which keeps everything neatly together. Listed below are some tips on getting the best use out of your laptop. A) Oil the threads and the bearing points of the threaded rods that spin against the collets. B) Not lubricate the threads. (b) In the cross-section, people cross at an angle This rod is threaded on one end and comes out of a hole at the other end which acts as leverage so that you can twist the rod inwards to compress the There were 24 times I used this compression tool since I removed and reinstalled 12 valves. More than 48 times while I was carrying the crossbar I dropped it. To prevent the cross bar from sliding out of the hole in more than one direction, peen over one end of the cross bar.
The arm bend did not deter me from buying it, though I saw posts online about it. For the shop, the big split c-shaped saw was used It costs about $50 to buy the clamp with the handgrip. It wouldn't be useful for me in my home, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. In my testing, I used this device on big block chevy valves with springs of about 585 pounds without any Once it is setup, it works pretty quick. It is a bit slower than the more expensive model, but it is pretty fast once it is running. It was also used on a vintage BMW bike without a problem. I consider this to be a fantastic purchase. There is only one flaw. The handle on the cross bar keeps falling out of the threaded rod hole. If you play with the ends with a hammer, even flaring them will suffice. But that seems way too simple and clumsy to me This was done by welding. I find it a great deal.
Using this tool, I removed eight valves from a Volvo 4 cylinder marine engine. There was no damage to the main body of the engine resulting from using this tool. There are others who mention that in their reviews, and it worried me. It is easy to lose the little bar that you use to turn the compression screw if you aren't If they had squeezed one end of the bar, they could have avoided this accident. In a full-blown e-learning environment, I could use this tool It should be able to handle an 8-cylinder head of any size. From the different attachments on the tool, I think I could also use it on small engines. Another valve spring compressor has been set up with the top of the head as the driving force. This is the tool I prefer, however on this Volvo head the springs are sunk into the head so that no part of the spring is exposed but the The over-the-shoulder valvespring tool, however, is not as cheap as this tool, so you may want to opt for this if you can't use the cheaper overhead valvespring tool.
I would like to do the following installing / removing a 914 / VW. A cost-effective device, but it started to bend after a short period of use. Because of the spring pressure on the single or dual valves, the valve opens outwards. My modifications are in flat-format Sturdy steel bracing, not beautiful - Looks like a tool, but actually does what it says- The photos are suitable for intended use (with modifications).
It worked fine for the project I was doing. I rebuilt the heads of a 2006 Honda Accord using the J30 V6 engine. I removed and replaced all of the valves without any issues. The cups were just the right size for the There is a thick piece of leather on the face of the valve to prevent the tool tip from disrupting the valve surface. The only concern I have is that the threads may not be able to withstand the wear of rebuilding many heads at once. The fact that this is not marketed as a professional tool means that I wouldn't expect it to last without regular maintenance for years. However, I'm sure it would be perfect for a hobbyist mechanic to rebuild a few heads.
Including a fixture for 32mm valve springs is required. I was able to work with my 32mm springs by using 30 mm fixture on top of the cleaned valve spring washer at the valve stem end and using next fixture size at the valve end with the screw compression on its end rather than the stem end of the valve. In order to prevent fixture slippage on the valve stem end, you must be careful not to allow it. I thought it would work better than I did. Although the tool's frame was not bent, it seemed to be quite sturdy. If you could include a 32 mm fixture, that would be very helpful. In this case, the clamp would fit over the valve spring washer and lock the fixture in place so that it would not fall off.
