Hi everybody:

Seems like the new forum has a lot less traffic that the older one. I thought I could add up some spice by posting a couple pics of my afro-engineered valve spring compressor...

Materials used: a 4-inch C-clamp, an old sacrificial El Crappo brand spark plug socket, a small piece of 5mm-thick steel plate, a 12 x 30 mm x 1.25 thread pitch hex bolt and some good cutting and welding...

It doesn´t look too pretty, but really works... The first picture shows my home-fab tool next to a K-D Tools universal valve spring compressor which I bought thinking it could work, but ended up being completely uselees (doesn´t grab the inner spring coils)...

Cheers for now;
