Valve compressor. was created by notaduc

Anyone have advice on a manual valve compressor that works well for these heads?

Or just one you like in general?

Thanks

Valve Spring Compressor Tool

Z1E might have them as well. I didn't look.

I picked on of these up a few years ago for ATV heads and it works great on KZ heads too. Better in fact than my OEM Kawasaki Valve Spring Compressor tool

Under $40

Mainly, the adapters that come with them. The kit I pointed the link to has adapters for pain in the ass heads like Honda 250 ATV's. It's a heck of a deal for the price and works on a pretty wide variety of cylinder heads.

I have a Kawasaki factory tool as well and the one from that kit works even better than it...
