Valve Spring Compressor?

[azcannon]

I just ordered the happyboy one. looks like it will compress a spring to me

I used the regular "C" clamp type spring compressor and used a 1/2 drive socket as a spacer. The socket gives you ample room to reinstall the valve spring keepers.

You can always make one. They are not that hard to make with a few simple tools.

Looking for a valve spring compressor to work with our engines and having a hard time finding anything. Anyone have a part number of one that will work?

Greetings and salutations my good fellow,

I am not entirely sure if I can be of technical assistance to you in this matter, but Mildred and I were given a jolly fine emergency tool box by a fellow in South Africa who visIted our game farm late last year. The one tool which may or may not be of assistance to you was manufactured by the producers of the Austrian KTM motorcycle brand. It has a part number embossed in it as follows: U2RBPD2. So I guess if you use the fabulous services of the World Wide Web, you can source such a tool in no time at all.

Do keep well, and Mildred says that I should wish you a hearty Easter ride this weekend, what.

Best regards as always,

Brendal.
