i need a valve spring compressor that actually fits my head, a 90 talon tsi. i've tried 3 different ones, none of which would fit. so i am asking what compressor you have used that works well with the 4g63 head? i checked out the ones of vfaq, but i am not the most handy person in the world and would probably cut my finger off using a grinding wheel. i would turn to those as a last resort. any replies would be appreciated, thanks

I had the same problem as you, none fit or none worked. I ended up saying screw it and took it to the machinist. He charges me next to nothing to dissemble a head.

i was thinking that too, but all i am doing is replacing the seals and re-grinding the seats with grinding compund which wouldn't take that long for each valve. anybody else ever find one that worked?

you could check the dsmtrader services section and see if a machinist would make you one of the valve spring compressor like the vfaq. or check with a local machine shop.
