Re: where can i get a valve spring compressor for dual cam honda heads...
i have a snap on/blue point one, ive done like 5 heads 4 b series and 1 dsm it took me under an hr to do all new valve springs and retainers, they work fine when you can set them up right, also i put a rag under the cly im using. havent used myn in a couple months but deff worth the money, u can do it by yourself no effort. its the one one ive seen work that well with a dohc head. might sell it since i dont use it anymore :l

Re: where can i get a valve spring compressor for dual cam honda heads...
The copy of the snap on units comes with fittings for compressed air into the cylinders has well. I have alwyas pulled the head to do valve springs. But with the compressed air and the copy snap on unit you should be sold. Make sure to cover up any holes etc has a keeper is bound to fall into something its not. Also be very careful has keepers are a bitch to keep track off. A magnetic tray will be a nice tool to have while doing the job has well.

alright i'm in the process of doing it. i'm half way done.
i'm using a 15mm socket and a hammer to get them off. using the zip ties to compress the springs and cutting the zipties off. my wife is helping me get the keepers back in cause i have sausage fingers. so far so good... :l
