O.E. Valve Spring Compressor

[TTipe]

Where can one get the old valve spring compressor for the stock valve springs? I looked through Kirban catalogue and didn't see it.I tried using a Blue Point screw type spring compressor but the lower feet would not fit into the retainer slots.Any help is appreciated.

worked fine on my champ heads with dual springs...

Check out the "how to" section in the general forum. There's a post on how to make it if the heads are still on the engine. Simple and very effective.

You can borrow mine and return it for shipping.

Machinegun Is Better Than The Average Bear

Inspite of the lousy economics of our time there are still some awesome folks on this board.Machinegun is going to the trouble of loaning me a spring compressor tool and sending it to me on his time and expense!

Thanks Again
