Valve Spring Compressor.I call him CRUSHER!

admin

Ok, so I needed a valve spring compressor to remove the valves from my heads.  I purchased one of the $50 "C" style ones from Jegs and bent that bitch all up on the first valve.I called Jegs and they wanted to sell the a spring compressor for $189.  I refuse to pay that just to remove my valves...So after some thinking I came up with this...

Reply:Nice build, very creative. Thats why I love welding, because if you don't have a tool, or they're to expensive, you can always engineer something to get the job done.
