My old one won't fit.

So what will do the job at a reasonable price?

Thanks

I have one Martin which I bought about 5 years ago and used it once to do my head for my 2.0ltr when I done the head gasket it on it. Your more than welcome to borrow that one if you wish. Let me know and I'll post it to you.

i take it you need one with a bigger opening, if vx1`s dont fit then let me know & i`ll hunt around for mine, havnt used it since god knows when so may take a while to find it but used to do monza heads o,k

The spring compressor I used on my CiH Carlton wouldn't fit the 24 valve Senator head, the valves were recessed too much for it. I'd had to buy something like ....this    

I'd had ....... one of these

hmmm, your "this"clicky wont work but the other one is similar to mine exept mine has a black handle!, ive come across recessed valves before so resorted to putting a spacer in between [probably a socket]
