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.

Was skeptical, but works as described to seat my Honda 450er valves

This gets the job done but I image a more expensive set would be worth a little more money. I don't know this for sure but I assume a good set would include a handle with some sore of detent or something that keeps it in place. This one just slides in and falls out. Also the threads are just ok. Not the smoothest. It's cheap and if that's your main goal then it's fine. If you are a mechanic, I surely wouldn't. I will use this tool very rarely so for me, it's fine.

I was dreading pulling the valves on a small engine project but this set made it way more manageable than trying to improvise with random tools. All the adapters you need are in the box and they work with different valve sizes without a ton of fussing around. The build quality is solid for the price and I had no issues with anything slipping or bending under load. Would recommend this for anyone doing occasional engine work at home.

Working perfect for a 1948 Chevy 216! Also for a 1950 Chevy 235 inline 6. I wrapped a tape around the handle to keep it from falling out. Used it to take out and reinstall valves

Works great! Tons of adjustment for various engines. Easy to use. Good build quality

Buy the harbor freight one that is very dangerous. Its better then this one. I gave it a 3 because its well built but didnt work for me

As advertised, soilid tool set

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.

Great for small to medium motor bike engines. Quality and strong in a bespoke case. Brilliant for my Honda c50 engine. Contains a number of different size spring depressors which would fit up to a medium engine.

Also ich kann nicht verstehen wie es manche Leute schaffen so ein Bügel zu verbiegen . Ich bin selber KFZ-Meister und habe mit dem Werkzeug jetz ein 16V Motor überholt und der Bügel ist sehr stabil. einziges Manko ist halt der kleine "Stab" um die Spindel zu drehen, dieser fällt Tatsache immerwieder raus , aber eine lange M6-Schraube mit 2 Muttern schafft Abhilfe. Aber das Werkzeug an sich , arbeitet sich hervorragend.
