Orion Motor Tech Valve Spring Compressor, 10pcs Valve Spring Removal Tool with Solid C Clamp, 5pcs Collet Pusher Adapters for Motorcycle, ATV, Car, Small Engine Vehicle Equipment

Garage brethren, this worked perfectly on a 2007 ecotec 2.0 head (very little clearance between the springs/retainers and head but worked without damage). I actually preferred the screw type on this since I was a bit concerned that lever type maybe limiting and perhaps bend one of the intake valves if I didn't keep it aligned (personal concern, not one I witnessed). If you don't appreciate this tool, you have not yet spent a week designing your own tools convinced you would eventually get it. I managed the exhaust side with a quick clamp and timing gear puller turned sideways to compress the springs and it still took me longer than I care to admit. The intake side was not happening with that method. Tool received and I did the remaining 8 valves in about 35 minutes. Dab some Lucas assembly lube (or whatever you prefer) inside the keepers during install, it was more than sufficient to get it them on the valve and spin them upside down without falling to make it easier to put the 2nd keeper on. It does not come with anything to back the valve up from the head, nor should it. I used one of the additional screws and folded a white rag to prevent damage, which makes it more versatile for the more seasoned guys. Many of us learned years ago (but do not publicly disclose) that no tool is complete until we use it and create the piece needed for our method or application. They also included a pair of gloves in the box. Didn't use them, but nice to add to my glove box/drawer/space I randomly assign to my garage floor during frustrating moments. I'm thankful since I was convincing myself that this was definitely the time I would follow through and track down that engineer to beat to ***** with said part. I quick clamped the head sideways to a work table after I noticed I kept moving it further and further over the edge. I realized the insane risk I was taking (tunnel vision set on being done). 4ft drop to concrete, you might as well place a trash can underneath it at that point lol. I used the Lisle push/hammer style for removal but it couldn't be used for install on this type (There is someone reading this right now rolling their eyes and muttering, "Some of these people shouldn't be working on cars." This head uses a pretty high spring tension and the keepers are recessed to the point where that method was not feasible. I'm not deducing that by sight, I TRIED MAN!! (Again, for longer than I care to admit). Not to discredit "that one guy" you know that sits indian style, blindfolded, in the next room and somehow flicks them on from his fingertips alone while making dinner and updating his resume. I just couldn't find one in my area this time. This tool would have removed and installed in one shot. Actual tool for this head is around 1k, no thanks. I prefer tools I don't mind breaking or cutting up if and when needed. It only increases the value anyways since it then becomes a specialy tool. Any tool can be broken or cause damage if not used with care or understanding/experience. It feels pretty solid and no distortion to note when loaded. I did not allow the tool to be stressed in a way it wasn't designed to be. I'm stating that since many reviews lead me away from a purchase when I don't even know who is writing them and viewpoints can differ greatly. Hope this helps someone out.

Does the job greatly. I've rebuilt my accent 2002 12v g4ek with this tool. I also used the lapping tool for reseating the valves. Great tool for the budget conscious mechanic.

Worked as designed, everything you need in one box, even a pair of gloves. Good quality and price.

Exactly as advertised. Worked great.

Got this for a friend who needs it for his 3 wheeler projects. Easily collapse the springs time and time again. Easy to use, and an all around great professional looking case and tool! A strong tool that makes ease of the work!

This a great valve spring compressor kit. Made valve work on a Subaru D25 head easy! I’ve also used it to compress the L/R piston in an A727 transmission.

It's a little cumbersome, but it worked well enough. Nothing fancy. Worth the investment for an occasional user.

Came with different sizes for clamping onto valve heads. Simple and super easy to use. The slot in the holding piece was big enough to get my fat fingers in there and picks to push the retaining pins in place. Takes a second to get the hang of it but you can move fast once you understand it. Worked great doing a full 16 valve job while rebuilding my engine. The benefit of using this tool compared to those automatic spring clampers is the accuracy you can get by turning it where you want it to go. (Used on 2AZ-FE Engine)

Yo lo use con una kia 2.4 y me funciono muy bien

Worked really well. Very happy with this set! Good for changing valves, stem seals, springs and lapping valves. Please keep in mind you do need the head of the engine removed to be able to use this tool! Picture shown is of a BMW M54 engine head after I did what I mentioned above. Had zero issues using any of the tools. Worked well, but definitely a tool I don’t plan on using again for a very long time 😆

Motorcycle valve gear inspection, measurement and maintenance on bike restorations. Requires a little bit of technique to align the adaptors on the valve head and the stop of spring. and you need to balance the C clamp during the whole process. Adaptors allow for easy collet removal with a magnet. Just take a bit of care the first few times.

El producto tiene materiales sólidos y macizos para trabajo pesado

As described, feels good to use only one of the attachments had to be dressed on the edges bit rough, other than than you get what you pay for
