Really need to add an explanation on how to keep the valve from dropping in to cylinder when spring and keepers are removed. Otherwise it’s a good video.
I've read some people put nylon rope the spark plug hole then rotate the engine until you feel resistance. There have been accounts of rope ending up between the valve and the head. Another way is to pressurize the cylinder with like 45psi to hold the valves up against the seats.
Man I swear!!!! I’ve had probably 5 of these exact spring compressor tools… I’ve absolutely never had luck with them working for me no matter how I use them…. Unless….. I use zip ties to keep it tight in place as I tighten it down
I've got a question. How much pressure will this compressor hold. Will it do double and triple springs. I do them off head but I've got just one on the exhaust side I need to do triple spring and I'm just wondering if it will hold that pressure. Thought I'd weld a socket to the top because you'll never do it by hand on a 2200 pound triple spring. The manufactured doesn't give the information. I know it will do double springs
Thank you for taking time to make this video
Thank you very much for your video. It helped me on my rebuild.
👍
interesting tool , usually we have to remove the head from the engine to remove and reinstall the spings and the keepers !! thanks pal ..

Yeah lmao, I imagine someone watching this, not thinking about what happens when you take the valve seal off, and then *poof* the valve is now gone!
does he use the piston(TDC) to keep it from falling?

@KurtisSaiyo that's the method i use, with the rope. It's very efficient and works every single time.
Thank you 🙏 makes doing the job so much easier!!
I needed this 💪🏿💪🏿
Very helpful.

Ur making it look so easy, I wish I’ve been able to do it so smoothly
If you clamp it onto the spring properly, it works fast and easy. The trick is clamping it well
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome

watched a video on another channel about these spring compressors. they recommend absolutely never using these on double or triple spring setups.
Careful, you can drop valve into cylinder.
This tool is good but not work in all head
