I bought a DOHC valve spring compressor but it doesn't fit into my head.
Anyone know what brand or where to buy one that works?

Try a search dude. Most of those generic wind-down models won't fit into a DOHC VTEC head.

Snap on makes this tool, not sure of the part number sorry


Or you can make your own like me

I use a swivel tip locking c-clamp or welder's clamp. Here's a pic of one by snap-on but I use a made in china cheapie.

I welded two tabs onto one of the swivel tips. The tabs push down on the retainer and leave plenty of room to remove the keepers. It's super adjustable and I've used it on every automotive DOHC head to even a CBR600f4i head. If you cant weld, you can take it to a shop and they'll charge maybe $8 to weld some tabs on.

the one Xsi posted does not require the head to be removed.
BTW most of the geniric wind down models won't fit a non-vtec DOHC honda head either.
