    Valve spring compressor recommendation?

    Can anyone recommend a valve spring compressor that will work on 2V GS heads?

    You can use any spring compresser. Use a lg socket with the side cut out to compress the valve and an a magnet to retrive the keepers

        My mechanic-genius friend Tom Brady that I have posted about previously, fashioned a spring compressor out of a piece of copper water pipe and some simple carpenters C-clamps that I had in my workshop. He just cut a slot out of a portion of the side of the pipe, for clearance. He made this set-up in about 5-minutes and it worked perfectly.
