Magnum Head Valve Spring Compressor

Good point. I was lumping them all together when they had a bolt or stud, but they aren't the same. Mine are not converted and use the OEM valvetrain, so "pedestal mount".



I assumed that with the dampener, it would be the same issue as a dual spring were only the outer spring is compressed. Good to know that in a pinch it would be an option.

I don't have either, so will probably go with the linked one that does them two at a time unless someone posts something better in the near future.
If you have access to a stud mount compressor it will work. You need one stud to screw in the hole your working on. You can move it from hole to hole. I think comp and hughes have them.
You shouldn't have any damper problems with a lever type compressor that pushes the retainer and spring against the the head. This works well for me.
