Thinking of overhauling cylinder head myself sometime in autum.
Trying to think ahead and prepare a bit, which of the tools available works best with the TU3 setup
because there are many types of valve spring compressors?
Anyone know?
Cheers.

I don't recommend that you do that by yourself,this kind of work needs a mechanic so that he do it right from the first time,that will cost you less.

Thanks for advice Timon. I would agree but I'm pretty confident and have all the rest of the tools needed.
I have also relapped valves before a couple of times on smaller engines.
Anyone else?

A generic valve compressor does the job, there is no actual specific one as far as im aware
And rebuilding a cylinder head aint brain surgery tbh, weekend job if that really
