Valve Spring Compressor
I need to remove the valve train from an h22a head. I went down to Sears today to get a valve spring compressor ... they had two different kinds there so I just bought both, got back to the house and tried both of them ... neither one worked ... are there any companies out there that make a valve spring compressor for the Honda motors? Or does anyone out there have one that they'd like to sell or let me barrow? Let me know, need to get this out so I can throw in the Skunk2 counterparts

The best kind for Honda's are the suspended bar types like the one Snap-On sells. They run from $75 to $125. Sorry I don't lend out my tools anymore after I've recieved them back broken or sometimes not at all.

getting them back in WILL REQUIRE spring compressor
i believe HONDA makes/sells the only one that is actually useful

The reason it is hard to use is because Honda's are overhead cam not overhead valve. I've heard of people using those though.
