Valve spring compressor tool - recommendations?
« on: August 22, 2021, 01:50:36 PM »
Having given away my car tools 20 years or more ago need to buy myself a valve compressor tool for dismantling my 400/4. I was going to borrow from my BiL but would sooner have my own. Looking for advice to get one that's suitable.

I bought one recently Ted and used it to strip and rebuild my head and it worked fine. Silverline brand via amazon £18.24. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BSH32PX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
