Review on 💪 Powerbuilt 940541 Valve Spring Compressor: Efficient Solution for Valve Maintenance by Curtis Donjuan

My problem is that my Gasser drag car has moved the engine back into the firewall and it is difficult to get to the rear cylinder valve springs. This tool fits 3/8 or 7/16 bolts by reversing the threaded barrel that sticks out from the bottom. The threaded barrel is held in place by a pin and clip. It's very easy to swap the ends. Equally important, the handle pivots. So if you can't operate the unit at a 180 degree angle from the rocker arm/valve stem bolt line, you have a few other angles to try. I think I have to turn the knob forward 10-15 degrees to bypass the firewall. Works on both sides of the engine. Haven't really used it yet, but as long as it can handle 400lb springs I think it's great, especially for the price on offer here. I wrote this because the promotional copy doesn't explain any of this, so I wasn't sure I'd get something to use until it actually did.
