What valve spring compressor are folks using? I tried the ones that advance auto parts loans out and a very similar one to the mikesxs $40 one i bought on ebay. I couldn't get the springs to budge with either. Both compressors actually got bent while trying this - i have to be doing something stupid. Do these require heavy duty compressors or something or could there be a problem with the springs ? - i see some folks using C-clamps. This is off a 78 motor that was off the bike when i bought it but seemed to move when kickstarting so i don't know what worked and what didn't. Any advice would be much appreciated.
