I think he meant to use the steering wheel puller bolted to the head instead of that aluminum bar stock?

But like mike reminds the bolt is angled to match the valves.

Anyone know the angle of b vtec valves? I'm about to flood my machinist with parts for a few jobs think I'll throw a few of these in it will cost me next to nothing.

I will try to measure the angle on my valve spring tool.  No promises though.

and where on the head will he bolt it to? I am pretty sure when they make the steering wheel puller the did not consider using as a valve spring tool, meaning the bolt holes on the puller will not line up with bolt holes on the head, on top of that honda valve are at an angle not straight down.

ya the angle of the vales is the prob, you could use that steering wheel puller idea, just fab up anotherp lpate that mounts to the head, with the hole drilled for the bolt at an angle similar to the valves

[dueyx99]

ya that's true, another thing is, i haven't tried the pos we built with the head on the engine, may possibly need a few more holes drilled along the length of the handle to change positions and some of the length cutoff as well

a steering wheel puller will probably be too big anyways, but it's no different in design over the $70 block of aluminum with 2 tapped and 2 straight holes

When you don't have access to equipment to make a tool, the cost is pretty well worth it.  That and to me time is worth more than money.

x amount of money to purchase a product or y amount of time and z amount of money to make said product or something similar.

exactly! when you work 8 or more hours daily plus school on the evenings and weekends and family, time is tight, plus living somewhere where materials cost more than buying the completed item, or lack of equipment, buying the tool pays off.
plus I saw the snapon knockoff on ebay for $45 same design as yours.

I got a big ass c clamp, welded a socket to the end of it, slotted a holet in the socked and use that, bottom side of clamp on the valve, other side on the retainer. But dual springs in a B series and my 4g like that

[Avistar23]

Good point, once i used a socket with the head on and pressurized the cylinder but it really really wasn't fun...i want ot try fab up that fancy aluminum one in the video, shouldn't be hard.

[d112crzy]

hardest part would be getting the angles right.

[Avistar23]

yeh .... ive got a few ideas to combat that but i dont see it being a big problem, not like it would be expensive if it messes up.
