Best tool for Valve Job

[MikeK]

. . . KD also made a cheaper version without the ratchet part, requiring you to hold your grip on it while getting off the keeper. . .

I have one of those. I call it the blood-blister special. When it slips, it BITES!

You guys are gonna laugh, but Sears has them in their tool dept. I was in there one day about 6 months ago just wandering around wasting time looking at tools. One of the odd things they carry is a valve spring compression tool. I laughed to my self and though "I'm probably the only one in the store that knows what this tool is for!!"

JP31, where are you located? There is most likely someone close to you that you could borrow one from if you don't want to buy one. Personally I have over a dozen valve compression tools.

I was thinking this also. If your close I'll loan you the coffee can I have with about a dozen of them in it. You can use the one you like best
