Recommend a valve spring compressor

Recommended Posts

I'm going to be dismantling my 2JZGE head tomorrow (head is already off the block) and I'm in need of a valve spring compressor. I was wondering if anyone could recommend one? Reason I ask is I've read on Supraforums that not any old valve spring compressor is suitable :search:

 

Any help would be appreciated :)

not sure if i'm too late here Rich not been on much recently, and cant answer 100% because i've never stripped a 2JZ- but- the design of the head seems similar to toyota 3S series engines, and for those i used to use this compressor:

worked dandy on the 3S.

 

if you did get one that works for the 2JZ for sure then let us know fella :)

Cheers for the heads up mate. I think the one in your link would of worked fine but I opted for one Halfords sell at £49.99 (£39.99 trade) as I was in a rush. The Halfords one is actually very good and looks similar in design to the Clarke one you've posted :)
