Default what kind of valve spring compressor for b16

dam i can't seem to find a valve spring compressor that will work properly with the b16 head. the valve spring are too deep in there and theres barely any room to fit in a spring compressor.

anyone has one that works perfectly with the pr3 head. if anyone has one please tell me the manufacture, model? places where i can get one. price doesn't matter!!

I can't find the pictures of the one I made but It looked exactly like the one here except it bolted onto the head. BTW the search tool is your friend.

That is the one that you want. Other tool manufacturers sell it as well probably for a little cheaper. Same kit, same actual manufacturer, different price.

A freiend used the snap-on tool and didn't have to remove the head. He has a special plug adaptor that putss compressed air into the cyl. This holds the valves up while your working on that cyl.

The one I posted works just fine without removing the head. Pressurized air either from a leakdown tester or direct airline adapter or just fill the cylinder with rope and then turn the crank so the piston moves against it and holds the valve in. I would recommend the compressed air though over the rope trick.
