Valve Spring Compressor Needed

[Jcarlson]

Does anyone in the Westerville (or Columbus) area have an overhead valve spring compressor I could beg, borrow, or steal? I'm sending a DOCH four banger head out to be milled and I need the valves removed.

There's no place to rent these things from and I can't see buying one just for this one job. I'll need the valves removed then when I get the head back I need to replace the valves. I can come to you, or you can come to me, whatever. Give me a shout if you can help out.

Thanks

Jim

Autozone sells and rents these. I know they do on my side of town.

I called the one by Iron Pony and they said no. Tried Advanced Auto but they don't have one for a bike.

What part of town are you on?

[Wheezle]

west side. Call 878 8944 thats the autozone on west broad. Unless things changed it should be in stock.

Use 4 hands, a set of pliers and a magnet. Jporter and I did it on his bike.

Thanks Wheezle. The one by iron Pony has one for a car where the spring is exposed, but I'm doing and old skool GS850G with DOHC and that kind won't work since the springs are inside the head. Maybe I'll try the one by my office tomorrow and see what they say.

Thanks again

Jim
