Valve spring compressor tool

Postby Custardtart » Mon Jan 07, 2019 5:42 pm

My “universal” valve compressor tool doesn’t fit my mazda 2.0 head :roll: so does anyone in the Brisbane area have a suitable one I can borrow?

Thanks for the pm’s offering help. I’ve just ordered one off ebay that hopefully fits!

I made this up about 30 years ago out of a section of gal water pipe to do a Fiat motor. It works with a big C clamp. Is the easiest one I've used and still works fine. :)
