Valve spring compressor
Anyone have a recommended valve spring compressor for the fa20?
Im going to replace my valve stem seals. Currently have Ferrea 6000 +1mm valves. I've done them before on other engines, just need a good recommendation for a tool that works well on the fa20. Thanks! |

I'd get the tools they use for the recall. They're pretty sweet.

Are the heads coming off? If not, the factory tool, as ultramaroon says, is nice.

I figure head goes face down with a little piece of cardboard under the dome. Still better than those vice-grip things.

The c clamps are a pain. My favorite tool to use was a GM special tool, 2 towers with a bar across and a lever to press down. 5 minutes and they’re all off.
Can’t find a picture of the actual tool, the towers were really nice milled aluminum. Plenty of aftermarket sets out there that look the same. -1024x768_0.jpg)
