[DeTomaso] Best valve spring compressor

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

Hi Dug,

I have used this kind for 35 years. I find them EZer to use then the big
C-Clamps models. I have never used the air model. As someone said remember
to wack the top of the spring with a rubber mallet to loosen the keepers up.

Hey Guys,

	What experiences has anyone had with valve spring compressors?.
This would
be the type for removing valve stem locks when the heads are off the engine.
Am I correct in assuming the "C"-clamp type are a better bet than the stud
mount type for removing stubborn valve stem locks?
