Hey, I recently borrowed a KD tools 3087 valve spring compressor to change out some valve stem seals on an 8V. With it set up the only way I can figure, the handle hits the intake (2pc) before I can compress the spring.
Is there something simple I'm missing? Can it be set up for the handle to point to the front of the engine instead of the back?
At this point I think I'm about to cut the rivet that holds the hook end and replace it with a bolt so I can try it in a different mounting position.
