which valvespring compressor (F4R)

[Andrew Cooke]

I've got 2 valve spring compressors, and neither of them get close to removing the springs from an F4R head. Got any links or recommendations for something suitable?

thanks
Andy

facom one is the best but it's very expensive for occasional use. I've got a sykes one with levers both ends that i dont like much but manages to reach

that looks nice, is there just one type, or do I need to know the spring cap size?

Is this right?

The laser one from halfords did my F4R head fine, think it was about £28 on halfrods trade.
