Valve Spring Compressors?
« on: December 27, 2006, 03:10:50 PM »
I went out today looking for a valve spring compressor and was supprised to find many different kinds. Most indicated they were universal, but typically that means for Ford, Chev and Dodge's. So before I go out and buy one I thought I would see what you guys/gals use?

Thanks.

I think the one I use is a \"universal\" one, although I've never used it on anything other than a VW. It is shaped similar  a C clamp, and about 10\" wide. Works very well.
