I have a few 1.8 heads I want to take apart and inspect. What is a good spring compressor tool to buy? I’m thinking about buying the Empi 5742 bench mount. Does anyone have experience using it?
Thanks, Jsaum |

If you're feeling crafty and already have a large C-clamp it can be modified to work! The aluminum bits were turned up on a lathe out of scrap metal. Slots allow the retainers to be fished out.  |
