What type of Valve spring compressor do you use?

Post by JonHardcastle »

Hello everyone,

I am having a really difficult time finding a valve tool that will work for my G9 cylinder head (I have 4 different ones). I am curious what brand/make/model has worked well for others here.

I have a universal kit that I bought from the well known auction site that everyone loves to hate.
I find that it fits most single and twin cylinder applications.

I brought a universal tool back in the 60's when I had an A10 BSA. It resembled a G clamp. It may be possible to adapt a G clamp. Or even make one, like this Wolverhampton AJS OHV folding clamp. Of which I believe there were two types.

Mine is the same of Stuyob's one. It worked spot on for my 650 twin valves, for a budget price.
Regards.
