This Yato overhead valve spring compressor allows you to replace valve springs and valve stem oil seals with the cylinder head still on the engine, saving time on OHV, OHC and CHV engines. A reversible jaw/adaptor and automatic cam‑action locking provide a secure grip on the spring retainer, while the lever design gives strong, controlled compression in tight engine bays.
