Although I'm not sure, I thank you for your support
My understanding is that there is no reason not to. According to how thick the head is and how close the valves are to the edge, the head would be able to support the weight. It worked fine with a BSA Lightning head from 1970. It is designed for smaller engines, so it's more suited to the smaller It consists of a "C" clamp that is 5" deep and 9 1/2" wide without collet adapters. There are two valve collet slots, each of which is 2" in diameter. The valve head side sticks out by 1/2", which leaves a space of 7" before clamping begins. As a kid in the 70's I did the heads on my Chrysler 354 Spitfire (non-hemi) and later on my 392 Firepower hemi. Engines like these are great. When I was a kid, I used my father's valve spring compressor around the house which was too large for the BSA. I still have the compressor which is a clamping type.
In the past several weeks, I have purchased several valve spring compressors and some of them did not work on other Whenever I think none of the others will work, I grab this one first. It's the most versatile one I have in my collection. The tool has a lot of room for adjustment and an array of fittings, so I am guessing that it will be able to fix Although I haven't used it on a 5, I've heard good things about it. I work on motorcycles a lot, and this tool has proven to be an excellent tool for every motorcycle I have ever worked on. The tool is great to have on hand even if it does not accomplish the job for you, as it is very versatile and inexpensive. I like mine very much.

It's an excellent idea to use a welder to remove valve springs from an existing valve A cylinder head has been removed. In order to remove the valve, it is necessary to apply pressure to opposite ends of the same valve to loosen the keepers, valve spring, and cap, and of course, to remove An obvious problem is that the tool does not have a button to protect the valve face from being scratched. To be able to use the valve, I had to create one to prevent the surface from getting damaged. A second problem with the valve spring was that I could not choose the right size. I had a little trouble getting them to hold onto the spring retainer because they were too large. It was a bit difficult to do that. Last but not least, the handle would fall out of the screw it was meant to drive. My engineering was pretty good. If you take your time and pack lots of patience, it's a decent tool to compress valve springs. It took me about 90 minutes to complete the task, but I'm going to find a better alternative Because it's a good design, I would probably make another one of the same kind.
I have a Toyota 5EFE and this tool works fine. Some of the complaints in other reviews mention the lack of a non-alcoholic option, which is expected in a restaurant of this caliber The combustion chamber part of the stove is going to leave a mark, as well as the fact that there's nothing to keep the handle in place I found parts lying around that were perfect to fix each of those problems. As you'll see in my pictures I used scrap parts. It was easy to make a cushion for the valve with an old sway bar bushing A little orange silicone thing was slipped on the handle to hold it in place, and I glued it to my face. (I am not sure what these orange things were originally used for. One of those small ones It would work just as well to use rings or rubber bands. sturdiness of the keeper adapters were Although the second largest adapter (25mm) worked well for the relatively small 5EFE valves, for a larger engine you will probably want to check to ensure the 30mm max adapter and 9" overall opening are going to be able to handle your needs comfortably.
It has been a few years since I was a As much as I expect from cheap tools, I have low expectations. It is a product that makes Harbor Freight look nothing like Snap-on In order to remove the valve spring from the motorcycle head, I needed to loosen it. It stumped me for a while why the tool tried to slide off the spring retainer halfway through compressing it. It can be seen in the attached photos how the arm bends when it is screwed Compared to the second picture, you can clearly see how the tool is no longer close to fitting in the storage container. Not a single additional method of leverage was used to tighten this. The good news about Amazon is that they accepted my return of this disgusting thing. It seems there are dozens of similar sets on Amazon, though I believe they are all the same sets, just marketed differently. If you're working with anything heavier than a lawn mower engine, do not use this tool. Avoid it.
This was purchased as my backup valve spring compressor wasn't compatible with the heads I am rebuilding because my good valve spring compressor died after 15 years of faithful service. We found this one to be inexpensive and it came with a lot I found it relatively easy to assemble, all I had to do was choose the collet size, attach the pusher screws, and put something against the valve, since the tip of the pusher has the potential to It was the flat head on a puller that I used. there is a wide variety of collets, but some of them tend to move because of the retainer, and thus can damage the clips so you have to be extra careful. My system had to be adjusted several times per year. There is a lot of fall out of the handle that turns the pusher and collet. There must have been a dozen or so times I picked that thing up off the floor. advice is to buy one with an actual compressor embedded in it, it may cost more, but it is a lot more user-friendly. I took twice as long to detach all the valve springs from my new one as I did for.
Those things are such a pain in the a$$. I figured this thing would be so hard to maneuver, but it wasn't. I used the plastic method for V) since I could not cut my rubber. Probably not a product I'd buy again, but if you're in a pinch, it would probably do the trick. Please accept my apology for the bad review, but I aim to make the customers aware of what they will receive. Even so, the seller is not at fault for this! As a type of compressor, this one has a bad reputation already. THE SELLER WAS NOT TO BE BLAME!.
A clamp design was found to be the best, but the tool had to be strong enough to perform the task. When under pressure, the tool is prone to breaking. In addition to adding time to the job, keeping the tool square also consumes some of the time. Taking a bow with heavier bolts and attachments onto a ford vin "X"-4, this tool would be much better.
Work was performed on a ford vin "X" There is no liquid in the container.
My goal with this post is to share some tips that are helpful to those struggling with this style of spring compressor Turn the screw rod until it fits on the face of the valve, take out any slack, then tighten until resistance changes. There are about 1/8" between each side. You may also use a screwdriver handle to pop the clamp body (on the spring side, by the threads). Once the keepers are released, the keeper will be released. It is imperative that you do not overwork Keeping it firm and gentle is key to its success.
