Orion Motor Tech Valve Spring Compressor, 10pcs Valve Spring Removal Tool with Solid C Clamp, 5pcs Collet Pusher Adapters for Motorcycle, ATV, Car, Small Engine Vehicle Equipment

Garage brethren, this worked perfectly on a 2007 ecotec 2.0 head (very little clearance between the springs/retainers and head but worked without damage). I actually preferred the screw type on this since I was a bit concerned that lever type maybe limiting and perhaps bend one of the intake valves if I didn't keep it aligned (personal concern, not one I witnessed). If you don't appreciate this tool, you have not yet spent a week designing your own tools convinced you would eventually get it. I managed the exhaust side with a quick clamp and timing gear puller turned sideways to compress the springs and it still took me longer than I care to admit. The intake side was not happening with that method. Tool received and I did the remaining 8 valves in about 35 minutes. Dab some Lucas assembly lube (or whatever you prefer) inside the keepers during install, it was more than sufficient to get it them on the valve and spin them upside down without falling to make it easier to put the 2nd keeper on. It does not come with anything to back the valve up from the head, nor should it. I used one of the additional screws and folded a white rag to prevent damage, which makes it more versatile for the more seasoned guys. Many of us learned years ago (but do not publicly disclose) that no tool is complete until we use it and create the piece needed for our method or application. They also included a pair of gloves in the box. Didn't use them, but nice to add to my glove box/drawer/space I randomly assign to my garage floor during frustrating moments.I'm thankful since I was convincing myself that this was definitely the time I would follow through and track down that engineer to beat to ***** with said part.I quick clamped the head sideways to a work table after I noticed I kept moving it further and further over the edge. I realized the insane risk I was taking (tunnel vision set on being done). 4ft drop to concrete, you might as well place a trash can underneath it at that point lol.I used the Lisle push/hammer style for removal but it couldn't be used for install on this type (There is someone reading this right now rolling their eyes and muttering, "Some of these people shouldn't be working on cars." This head uses a pretty high spring tension and the keepers are recessed to the point where that method was not feasible. I'm not deducing that by sight, I TRIED MAN!! (Again, for longer than I care to admit). Not to discredit "that one guy" you know that sits indian style, blindfolded, in the next room and somehow flicks them on from his fingertips alone while making dinner and updating his resume. I just couldn't find one in my area this time.This tool would have removed and installed in one shot. Actual tool for this head is around 1k, no thanks. I prefer tools I don't mind breaking or cutting up if and when needed. It only increases the value anyways since it then becomes a specialy tool.Any tool can be broken or cause damage if not used with care or understanding/experience. It feels pretty solid and no distortion to note when loaded. I did not allow the tool to be stressed in a way it wasn't designed to be. I'm stating that since many reviews lead me away from a purchase when I don't even know who is writing them and viewpoints can differ greatly.Hope this helps someone out.

So far so good! Product showed up on time and was handled with care. So far the tool is doing what it should and I'm very impressed. Has multiple other attachments and was worth the money! If your doing your own engine work to save money this tool is definitely a start! 10/10 Would recommend to a friend.

Worked as designed, everything you need in one box, even a pair of gloves. Good quality and price.

The price made me a little bit uneasy about buying this thing, but it works fantastic. I used it on the 781 big block Chevy heads I’m rebuilding and yes I could’ve used one size up, but it worked pretty dang well and wasn’t hard to use. The only thing that bugged me was that the handle that they give you doesn’t give you enough leverage, a screwdriver was a simple fix other than that great tool, especially for the price

I used the Orion Motor Tech Valve Spring Compressor while rebuilding a 2012 Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi engine, and it performed flawlessly. The C-clamp is solid and well-built, and the collet pusher adapters fit perfectly, making both removal and installation of the valve springs smooth and efficient.The tool felt sturdy and durable, holding up well under pressure without any slipping or bending. For the price, this is an excellent investment for anyone working on engines, whether it's for motorcycles, ATVs, or full-sized trucks like mine.Highly recommend it for DIY mechanics and professionals alike!

I will use this to fix my zero turn mower.

Decent tool. Didn't last long. It could've been built a bit stronger. The c clamp bent on me the third time using it.

Saved a lot of time. Already used this on two different cylinder heads. Follow the directions about the lubricant of the screws. I used synthetic brake caliper grease, a small dab goes a very long way.
