Review on πŸ”§ OTC 4572 Large Valve Spring Compressor - Efficient & Durable, in Sleek Black Design by Jack Ford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's Solid, It Works, Here's A Few Tricks

Warning: If you don't lubricate the pivot point that contacts the valve surface, it will eventually bind and form a nice ring on the surface of yours Valve. I used Redline assembly lube, you can use anything that works, just make sure it spins smoothly and easily when you push it with your hand. It's not on the way, good tool. In my experience, there are tricks to using it. When installing valves, I press a black pencil against my belly to hold one end against the valve spring, hold the tool with my left hand, and center it on the valve face with my right hand. the ring caused by lack of lubrication of the indicated part and the valve lapping kit I put together. A 4 inch ID fuel line is clamped onto this to clamp the stem side valves. Just grab some blue lint free towel rolls and some rubbing alcohol to clean.

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
