eBay Motors: One Man Operation Valve Spring Compressor Remover Tool (item 180195636138 end time Feb-12-08 21:44:24 PST)

Or, I should say is it worth a shot? I dont want to take the head off.

 

definetly looks like its worth a shot. on vfaq.com i think they show you how to make one if your know how to weld i believe. but the link you posted definetly looks like it would work plus i think it pivots by the base. if you buy it consider it a mitsu write up!!

 

Cool. Some guys on dsmtuners said it looks like a good buy. Thanks, I bought it.

 

Ive changed mine before doesnt look like you should have any problems with that tool.

 

and be careful that you dont drop the valve stem seals..id make sure you block all the holes in the head

 

man, that thing was gold in my shop. We'd charge 400 bucks for valve spring changes, which is half of what it would cost to do with the head removed, and people forked it over repeatedly. Only took us 2 hours on a Honda vtec head. Considering we paid 100 bucks for the top of the line Blue Point model, I'd say it was one of the most profitable and useful tools I've ever owned.

 

Yeah buy it.

 

I have a similar one. Works great.

 

and i would put some rope or something between the valves and the pistons so the valves dont drop down into the cylinders and holds the valves up for you.
