Valve Spring Compressor - to borrow
itguy - 17/1/07 at 08:53 PM

Hi Everyone

Has anyone in Leicestershire got a 16v Valve Spring Compressor that I could borrow for a few weeks while I do my zetec rebuild?

I've got an OHV one but it doesnt fit (obviously) and as its something I'm going to use so infrequently I'm after a borrow if poss...

Cheers

Will.

You can use a pillar drill (in fact its even easier to use a pillar drill and bit of pipe) - obviously if you have one! Oli.

If you are struggling pop down to your local engine rebuilders, he may have a yoke that will fit your existing valve spring compressor that will enable you to get into the recess. (for a small amount of beer tokens)

If you are struggling i will have a look when i get home if i have a yoke lying around that mite do the job not 100% though
