In the not too distant past, specialized tools for doing engine work have been far and few between. A job like disassembling and assembling your vintage Honda cylinder head was nearly impossible to do, especially if you wanted to do the job correct and safely. Its the recent accessibility of these tools that allow the garage builders, like ourselves, to rebuild our vintage motorcycle engines right at home. Learn how to completely disassemble your cylinder head using the valve spring compressor tool to prepare for cleaning and inspection, identify the different components of your valves and valve springs, and reassemble the cylinder head safely. Our valve spring compressor tool will work on any standard coil-type valve spring found in many motorcycle engines.
This tool will NOT work on Honda CL450 / CB450 and CB500T family of motorcycles, as these engines use a torsion bar style valve spring.
