Valve spring compressor

stangbang · 03-25-2001, 04:28 PM

does anyone know were I can get a decent valve spring compressor that will work for my Holley aluminum heads? I tried a KD Tools #380 but it wasn't beefy enough to handle the hi-po springs

Dan, are you talking about WW Grainger? Thanx

Do you have stud mount or pedestal mount rocker arms? Also, I presume you're looking for a compressor that works while the springs are on the head?

They are pedestal mount and yes with the springs on the heads but the heads off the block. Thanx
