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 Larry C.

LarryC Offline User Posts: 1241 Thank you received: 309	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... Larry C.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNot sure it will be any better than the cut down bucket on the c clamp.
