Valve spring compressor

I’m on track to own every type known to man.

The latest one is really awesome!

That last on looks slick! Out of stock at CIP1 up here. I’m on notification. I have an old twirl one like the one on the left in your photo. The only thing I like about it is it keeps the spring compressed while I fart around with tapping on the top of it to get the keepers freed up.

I put my heads together tonight and the new compressor is awesome. I made two slight modifications. First I taped a couple of MDF shims to the things the valves rest on. This minimizes how far the valves fall into the head before you put the spring on.

I have been tucking the lever under my armpit, so I have two hands for the keepers. I wrapped a towel around it for comfort.

The 8 valves went really quickly, and no frustration.
