Does anyone know of, or have used any valve spring compressors "on the car" I have used some application specific ones in the past, but never on a honda.

I'm just thinking down the road, it'd be nice to be able to swap out springs if needed without removing the cylinder head.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

I've cut the tabs of a universal compressor to gain the clearance needed on a s2k head.

One like this:

That looks like it would work pretty well.

 

There is a DIY thread for cracked retainers. There are pics of how to mod a spring compressor so it will fit the f20/22 head.

it takes a little grinding to clear the intake manifold, but it works very well

 

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the link and find.
