The two valve spring compressors you listed there tecnic1 are for overhead valve engines. Honda have overhead cam engines. As I understand it, neither of those will work. You want the one that Chad listed for overhead cam engines...

ohhhh...I see. I sorta didn't understand the overhead valve thing..Is that like pushrods? Thank you both though. does anyone else make one or is the snap-on tool worth the extra money.

Correct. With the cam in the center of the block, and pushrods... that's the overhead valve engine... The typical 350, etc...

I would recomend the Snap On, but then again, when it comes to tools, I'm rather ****, and prefer to buy the best no matter what the cost is. Snap On IMHO is the best.

I have one that looks exactly like the snap on. I paid the same price none the least. Well i will sell it for 75 if anyone wants it. I paid well over a hundred.

that one might work if the head is taken off....I say might because it might not be deep enough. Those valves are WAY in there.
