Thank you, I'll look out for something similar.

Any pointers on that valve compression tool too?

Much obliged.

Sean · Jul 27, 2012

something old and rusty off ebay - SP etc

Water247 · Jul 27, 2012

Will this suffice? Looks heavy duty enough to not flex as you warned.

draper or sealy arent bad for price quality , but lever is best if you have a bench you can lever against or can weld something up similar to this Google Image Result for http://www.tooled-up.com/ShowImage.ashx%3FType%3D3%26File%3DSEAVS168.jpg%26Man%3DSEAL%26Size%3D250

Once you have the head off, the valve stem oil seals are straight forward if you have a valve compression tool ... essential bit of kit!

James, on your text entry box can you see a little symbol that looks like a mountain range ?

click that then paste the URL of the image you want to display into it, and then, by magic

jamesmartin · Jul 27, 2012

meant to say just get std ring compressor if doing a few http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...PbCOebhTNDpgiRxUA&sig2=O5fMCWvmuU6sQqfNpU9b0Q make sure it covers 3-4 inch

using the insert image thing (the mountains) saves having to download an entire page just to see an image

I've seen others using large jubilee clips as ring compressors when putting pistons in stationary engines.
