The one from Snap-on Tools is the best. You can either buy it from their website or call there customer service for a location near you. I use one myself. Not sure about the part number. Their Valve spring adjustment tool is also worth the money, just make sure its the 10mm sized one.

search for pn#YA9140 on snapon.com. It is a really nice compressor and the only type I have found to be effective on a head that is still installed on the motor.

thanks all for the reply. as thought so the Snap-on part is good. However it looks very similar to the Draper tool.

Actually that Draper's kit is more complete since it comes with valve holders and other things, but how much is it in us dollars? The site only got it in some kind of foreign currency.

I'll guess it will cost around US$188 for the Draper Kit, but it does not come with all the Guarantees unlike the Snap-on part.

I use the Snapoon one. I believe that tool thewarehouse.net has the same tool for $75 but dont quote me. Its exactly the same and I payed too much. Its works great and enev reaches the valves on vtec heads.
