Comparing Valve Spring Compressor Tools

Hey everyone, in this video I go over how all the off car spring compressors in the shop work. Most of these are super old and I am not sure who made them. I will work on finding out. The valve spring compression tools are used on a Nissan 3.0L, Subaru EJ25, and GM LS 6.0 cylinder heads.

do you know of a tool that would work with a Polaris rzr 900 with the head on Brain crower makes one but its $250 thx

[@Tech_1968]

Not really, the one for overhead cam engines might work. They are around $40. But the head needs to be off and you may need to grind down on the adapter for the valve spring.

Will the 4572 work on a pentestar head?

[@Tech_1968]

@@fogstain Yes, but it is tight when used on the back cylinder head (right). Loosing the engine and transmission mounts just a little helps with clearance.
