I bought a DOHC VSC and it doesn't fit into my head
Where can I buy one and what brand should I buy?
Brand and part# would be great

 

try snap on ohv v-spring compression

greg

 

Try northern tool company 1-800-533-5545
Its the best VSC to use with the head still in the block.
go to northerntool.com to look at it. Cheap prive too...

 

If you have a regular "C" type VSC, call Goodson Supply (800) 533-8010 and order anCF-24-G adaptor $19.99, it will convert your regular VSC to work on Honda's

 

Are the craftsman vsc's any good? $19.99 retail and is a C type.

 

snap on baby. good quality

Thanx! Snap-On is too expensve and that VSC is crappy!

 

Got the craftsman tool yesterday....it needs an adapter of some sort (which i will be fabricating out of some tubing soon) to work on a B series head. But as is I managed to take off a valve successfully so its good in my books. Got it for $19.99 retail, so I cannot complain

 

Craftsman with the ghetto adapter I made.

I use the snapon one all the time. Its made by someone other than snapon though, so you can probably find in the off brands for quite a bit cheaper, Its really nice to use.

i dont know if schley tools makes em for snap -on or not but they do make a valve compressor and adjustment tool that look exactly the same w/ a little savings....compressor $98, adjustment $45

snap on makes a vsc that only costs about $45. it has a magentic nipple at the end that holds your keepers on.

go to snapons website and its either under valve tools or valve compressors.

This tool makes changing out valve springs a sinch.

 

its all about the schley VSC. their universal one is great. http://www.shoptoolsshoptools....d=189

its about 100$
theres other places online that sell them, this is the quickest one i found, got mine from toolwarehouse i think

will this exact vsc work on a honda (gsr) head (the pic on the right)? I looked at this type at a parts store and there was no way it would fit down into the bowels of my gsr head. Anyone used this exact one?

d

 

no, that one in the picture wont work on b series heads. they do work on some of the exhasut springs, but they will never fit on the intake springs. get the snap on tool. i made my and it took me a while to install all the springs and retainers back. should have baught the tool instead of make n one

 

Stop by your local Kawasaki m/c dealer and ask to look at their factory vsc. Interchangable ends to accomodate different spring retainers.

There's no pic, but the discription tells you pretty good how it works. Easiest valve spring tool I've ever used.

I use the Schley valve spring compressor and never have any problems. It is so easy and quick to use.
