Hi,

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what type valve spring compressor to use on a G16B 16v engine.
I have bought two different types & none of the fit\work with the design of the head...

Cheers

i used copper plumbing couplings to make and adapter. with a window cut in the side, to tickle out valve keepers.. i also used it on a motorcycle head.
