The throat depth is 165mm, allowing for a good reach on various engine configurations.
It is designed for use on most engines due to its universal design and double-ended valve cup. However, always confirm compatibility with your specific engine before use.
The double-ended cup allows you to switch between two sizes or orientations to fit different valve spring retainers, increasing its versatility.
These handles provide a secure grip and allow you to lock the valve spring in a compressed state, keeping it stable while you work on removing the collets.
Yes, its design allows it to be operated either above or below the valve, making it suitable for both OHC and OHV configurations where space permits.
Clean with a dry cloth after use, store in a dry place, and inspect handles for damage. Lightly oil metal parts for long-term storage.
The 'Expert' designation from Draper signifies a higher standard of quality, durability, and performance intended for professional use and demanding DIY applications.
Ensure the double-ended valve cup is correctly seated and fully engaged with the spring retainer. Check that the spring is within the tool's operational range (55-175mm).
Verify that the lever cam mechanism is fully engaged and operating smoothly. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the compression action. Check if the spring is excessively stiff or if the tool is being used correctly according to its design.
Check the locking mechanism for dirt or debris. Ensure the cam lever is fully engaged in its locked position. If the handles are bent or damaged, the tool may need replacement.
Confirm the tool is positioned squarely on the valve spring. Ensure the engine component it rests against is stable and not compromised. Do not over-compress the spring beyond its intended limit.
Setup:
This tool requires no complex setup. Simply ensure it is clean and free of debris before use. The double-ended valve cup offers versatility without the need for separate attachments for basic operation.
Compatibility:
Designed for use on most engines, specifically targeting the compression of valve springs with a range of 55mm to 175mm. Always verify the valve spring diameter and engine configuration to ensure compatibility before attempting to use the tool.
