DIY Valve Spring Compressor

1. I had to make one for an OHC Ford 4.0.

2. Diy factory, nice video.

3. Bro Ill buy the compressor tool from you. Or since then, have you found a compressor tool that actually works for the D16? I can't find one that works the D16.

4. Beast

5. Dude. Next time use some lube on that hone. Dry f***king it isn't good for neither the hone or your cylinder walls. Also those little guys on the plate you took off the head are called lost motion assemblies. They make your VTEC work.

6. Go In, Make it cleaner and more effective and Start Selling it Dude

7. if you could make it where the depressor part would not turn with the bolt when you turn it the bolt

8. Takin em out is easy….just smack the top with a socket and the whole assy pops up just be sure to keep pressure toward the valve to deter the pieces from popping out wild….puttin em back is the pain in the butt. You may be surprized to know that you can actully push them with yur thumbs. Just sorta put the keepers in the anticipated area and start pushing and make your goal to get one of the halves seated…then push the other side down…..theres a million ways ive seen a guy use a hundred pound weight with a 3/4 inch socket welded on it that he had ground a mouse hole in the side of suspended from an electric winch that worked very well. He used a ratchet strap to hold in place a concave piece of a hard but padded knee pad to hold the valves against the port. He could install a row of 8 in about 10 mInutes hed lower that weight on it depressing it then he used needle nosed pliers to manipulate the pre-greased keeper halves onto the stem and the great thing about the winch is it provided a nice and slow action when raising the weight back up allowing the keepers time to seat well….i was impressed they can be frustrating for even the seasoned mechanic due to the many various configurations out there believe me theyre not all near as easy as an old school sbc lol…grab ya one of these new-fangled import heads where the assy is 2" inches down in a tunnel lol…either way any and all of these different video suggestions are welcome im all about if you got a better way by all means i wanna see it i consider myself a good mechanic and will admit that youtube is DEFINETELY one of my greatest resources when i get in a bind….never lose the desire to learn my friends

9. Insane to spend all that time making a valve spring compressor – mine was $10 off ebay and has five different sized slotted valve spring fittings.

10. this is funny because i was just doing the same exact thing on the same head with the same tools but i figured out a way to make the tool work lol and i made a video on how too. so funny seeing this old video 🤷🏽‍♂️🤔🤣🤨🧐💪🏽

11. Dood nice welds

12. should've just welded a washer to the bottom…

13. Dude you can use a socket and a extension to get those keepers off. I've done ti that way many times the d series valve springs are not very strong you can do it all by hand no tool necessary

14. Damn, nice van, is that your mom's? Yup, mom's van.

15. Sir what is the name of the brush that ur using hooning the cyclinder black

16. With Avasva plans doing something like that was easy.

17. great job man really clever for a young guy keep it up youll have a career in the industry ……

18. Cost ?

19. Yep I dont think one of those compressors will fit down in my little Geo head. No room! Is there really no good way to do little asian engines? Every valve job I've seen done has some janky way to do this. Yours is the best I've seen though!

20. I like that Alfa Romeo at PFI, looks good
