Hello All,

What style valve spring compressor works well for the T engine? Need to replace valves. I have seen several styles, just wondering what works best.

Thanks
Tim

I like the C clamp type as it leaves it clear to install the keepers or the pins.

the one from Snyders works really and very easy to use worth the money.Put the hook through the hole hang from manifold stud and lift the spring cant get much simpler than that.

I use a pair of "hose removing" pliers to compress the spring and work the pin with needle nose pliers. Cheap and works.

Gregs tool is effective and easy to make for about a third the cost!
