    Hi guys, going to be changing the stem seals on my vts soon so need to get a valve spring compressor to take the valves out.
    Just wondering what compressors you guys use as there's so much choice out there!

    I'd probably end up breaking something

    Think i'll just get the proper tool, was just checking if it is the right size
