Universal OHC Valve Spring Compressor - Schley Products, Inc

Part #: 91400B

The Schley Products 91400B Universal OHC Valve Spring Compressor is designed for professional automotive and industrial technicians tackling valve spring service in challenging engine bay environments. This specialized tool allows for the efficient compression of valve springs without the need for engine removal, even in locations with restricted access due to modern engine compartment designs.

Key Features

  • Remote Compression Capability: An innovative design allows the compression tube to be actuated independently from the lever. This enables technicians to compress valve springs in tight, confined areas, such as under the cowl, where traditional levers might not fit or operate effectively.
  • Universal Adjustability: Engineered with multiple adjustable points, this ohc valve spring compressor offers broad compatibility across a wide range of overhead cam (OHC) engine configurations.
  • Engine-in-Vehicle Service: By eliminating the necessity of engine removal for valve spring access, the 91400B significantly reduces labor time and associated costs.
  • Streamlined Operation: The depressor tube glides smoothly to each valve location without requiring constant readjustment of settings, enhancing workflow efficiency.
  • Durable Storage: All components are neatly organized and protected within a robust blow-molded storage case for convenient transport and longevity.
  • Upgrade Path: Owners of the earlier 91400A Universal OHC Valve Spring Compressor can easily upgrade their existing tool to the "B" model using the 91410B update kit.

Applications

This universal ohc valve spring compressor is an indispensable tool for professional mechanics facing valve spring service in vehicles with limited engine bay access. It is particularly effective for navigating obstructions like brake boosters, AC housings, and other restrictive cowl structures. A notable application includes facilitating valve spring replacement procedures in certain Lexus models affected by safety recalls, which often require servicing valves in confined spaces.
