Valve spring compressors for safe valve maintenance

A valve spring compressor compresses the valve springs in a cylinder head, so you can safely remove and fit the valve collets, springs and stem seals. During engine rebuilds and valve maintenance this is the tool with which you control the spring under tension, without parts springing away or getting damaged. A version with an impact mechanism frees stuck collets where hand force falls short, which speeds up disassembly.

When choosing, look at the range of cylinder heads you work with and at the fit of the pressure pieces: a good seat stops you loading the spring at an angle or damaging the head. A solid, hardened construction holds its setting under repeated load in the workshop. For garages, engine rebuilding and machine maintenance a valve spring compressor is indispensable for doing valve work neatly and safely.

Work in a controlled way and always keep the compressed spring under control during assembly and disassembly. Combine the tool with the right pressure pieces for the engines you work on, so you tackle different cylinder heads quickly and without damage.
