edhd58 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 This is going to sound like a stupid question. I have to pull the valves out of my flathead 6. Yes another mess with the rebuilt engine I am having to diagnose and repair. My question is about valve spring compressors. How do I know the one I buy will work for my engine. Are valve spring pretty much the same size in diameter? This is one I am looking at but want to be sure before I buy that it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 As you can see, that tool has adjustable top and bottom arms. It should work for most flathead sixes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 That is the correct type and will work for all flathead engines. Incidentally next time you ask if a part or tool will work on your particular engine it will help if you tell us what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
