Title: Valve spring compressor
Post by: gasketface on 02 June 2013, 09:30

Mornin' all.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to a suitable valve spring compressor for use on a VR6 head ?.

An Ebay link would be great ?.

Thanks. :smiley:

Thanks but i was hoping that someone who had done the job might be able to post a link to one that is suitable because of the different types/shapes etc.I can probably borrow one but i need to know what i'm looking at.

Thanks.

I got one from Halfords the other day as first time I've needed one since being solo and on a Punto it just wasn't small enough until I turned a plate around an the same for a Mini.

However it did go quite deep so if the VR head is fairly thick the 19.99 one would work. Can't remember what it cost on trade.

Look under special automotive tools, valves pistons, and there you will find the ones VW use. :smiley:
