Review on ๐Ÿ”ง ARES 15031 Valve Spring Compressor - Ford 2-Valve Engines Service Tool for Camshafts, Valve Springs, Seals, Retainers by Scott Vazquez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worked with mods to fit valve tools

Had to modify the leg (opening the gap and beveling the top edge) to give a bit more access for the valve holders to snap in and slide around the root. Once I did that I did a great job using Trans Goo to make them sticky and a magnet to place them on top of the stick. Once the first is installed, slide it down to the underside and compress the spring just enough to allow it to slide without loosening and with just enough tack to hold it in place. These were Ford 4.6L 1/4" valves. Bought a $75 Lytle tool that didn't work.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Functionality
