Favourite Valve Spring Compressor to make the job easy
Hey guys, Im finding a few methods to remove the valvesprings on a d16 engine. I do have the head off the car. This is my first time to teardown and rebuild a d16 head so Im looking to make it simple to compress the springs and do the work.
Does anyone have a favourite tool or an ingenious idea they have made work with the d16's?

This tool will make your valve spring life much easier and much faster than the individual spring compressors that you find at any auto parts stores.
And it's not much more in price.
Not sure if it works well on B series motors with the dual cams but on the SOHC engines it's a dream.

That's what I like about the tool I posted. Easy slide across the bar for each spring and the leverage you get with the bar makes it easier.
For removal any deep socket that isn't bigger than the retainer and a quick tap of the hammer will work. Granted, the socket doesn't have the handy catch magnet.

it was from a tool shop in Pickering right across the street from GT Custom exhaust. 4-1051 Brock Rd, Pickering
What do you press it with, I would think you'd need some leverage with valve springs, especially upgraded titanium springs etc. I'm sure you aren't just pushing straight down with your hand/wrist. After a few I could see fatigue setting in.

I really can't say. I've don't have a DOHC to test with. And I have seen NotARacist mention about tight spacing with the DOHC motor. Not sure if it will fit properly or not on a DOHC.
That is one advantage with B Swapped93's tool, it will work on any over head cam motor made by anyone just about.
