Maybe I am doing something wrong but removing valve springs on my 914 has been a real pain. I have tried two different types. I can get the springs off but it is a real pain. I have a C type compressor from sears- didn't work. I also have the type that grips the spring and when you screw the knob in the spring compresses- never works as planned.
Any recommendations for a easy to use valve spring compressor? There has so be one that is much easier. |

that tool is mostly for doing a spring change with the head on the engine.
i just did a cam and spring change on a buddies ford truck with one of those.... real pain in the ass! the c-clamp type is better but crusty has the best methode if you do a buch of them... there is acully a tool that is just like that. |
