Hi guys, I'm currently assembling my k1100 head and need to buy a valve spring compressor to get the collets in. Any suggestion which one to buy ? I have one at home but seems not suitable for the job.

I bought one of these years ago. It's nothing fancy, but it's sturdy and for the price there's no way it can be bettered in my opinion. [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/301789490368 [/url]

the style will posted will do most all 16v heads, the ones with the non-adjustable stop that pushes against the spring will snag on some heads.

This is the set I use as it can do a head on the bench in minutes and can also do most heads in-situ. but it is REALL tracky to use as you have to do the collets one handed. as the other hand is on the lever compressing the spring. but its fast.

If you have access to a machine shop, you can just make an adapter for your existing valve spring compressor - basically making that tubular section with the walls missing in the link above, so is that engages into your existing compressor, and allows you to do all kinds.
