Alright so I just got my new valves and Mko had a valve spring compressor rigged with a socket to work for the dohc and I am working on my single. Now with the dohc it runs with coil packs but since mine has plugs and wires there are metal tubes comming up and it is getting in the way of the compressor so I cant get the spring retainers in... Does anyone know where I can get a specific one that would work for the sohc?? I went to pepboys along with auto zone and they had the universal one but I tried it out and it wont work either.... I just got off the phone with the mitsu dealer near me... The guy I was talking to said that they wouldnt carry that and he had no clue how I could get ahold of one... Some one please help me....

Yes I am talking about them but they didnt look like they pull out...
they shouldnt matter. Ill be there later I think. Im stuck in NJ.
Thats beat... Yea ill show you what I mean... Im supposed to be doing a h/u for my sister this weekend.... Idk weither I am going to go get it tonight or tomarrrow...
finding one is going to be damn near impossible. The easiest way to get the off is to set a pespi bottle cap or something soft under the valve you want to remove get a 18mm or so deep well socket on an extension with a little bit of a paper towel or rag or something stuffed inside of it and then smack it with a hammer then the retainers should pop out inside of the socket.. Installation is another story. This is what my friend uses when he messes with mine or his head.

I got it to work. I bought the little one from sears... It was the same universal one that pepeboys had. I had to cut it some in order for it to work but I got all my valves in with the springs! Now its time to clean up the cam along with the rocker arms and squirters and then Put it back together!!!!!!
