:rofl:
I used one years ago on a BBC but I don't remember what brand it was. I'm sure any tool place that sells engine building tools would have something that would work for you.

Where is the pic Henry???oke:

 

[Vrabel]

did you guys use the one that's just a set of jaws with a screw knob on top? sort of resembles a wine bottle opener?

 

[delong_1]

Ya that's the type I use I was just lacking a good description

I dont know if mine are 100# but I run Hamiltons duramax valve springs. So does Josh and his truck see's upwards of 100psi boost and hasn't seen an issue yet.

Which valve spring compressing tool did you guys use?

I have the GM on car one for the duramax that comes in the engine service tool kit. I also used a KD one that has two arms and a t-handle on top.

I will say that it is definately a job with the heads still on. Doubt I will ever do another set that way.
