Review on Professional Valve Spring Compressor Removal and Installation Tool Kit - WINTOOLS Pro Cylinder Head Service Set by Nico Ramdeen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Can be made to work with a little more effort.

I used this to replace the stem seals on a 1991 Honda Civic (D15b1 16 valve engine). I expect the results will be similar on any number of Honda 4 cylinder engines from the 80's and 90's. For many people, this is a one-time job, so the tools need to be good enough for a one-time use. Here it is basically like this. The spring compressor mounts had to be modified to mount to the cylinder head. So make sure you have a grinder to make small changes. It wouldn't work otherwise in my case. After the changes were made, it worked quite well. Gasket removers are useless. They just didn't work. Ordinary pliers worked (big enough to fit on the valve stem). None of the filling devices worked very well. They are too big to be used in a compact small engine. Although the deep socket worked well. It doesn't take much effort to install them. The retainer removal tool and air compressor nozzle were fine. To reassemble the holders, the best tool is a broken stick. Holders are so small that the slightest magnetic attraction of ordinary steel sets them in motion; A sicklewood staff solves this problem.

Pros
  • Tools and Equipment
Cons
  • Non automatic
