which is the DOHC motor they have a special compressor that grabs under a cast part of the head. Im not sure the SOHC head has an area like that to use that kind of compressor (havnt checked yet)..



Does anyoen have a faq or procedure to do this with head on motor, or know what is the best tool?



Thanks!!!!

and look at the repair info section for your car. The instructions are basically the same as the ones you posted. I think you can use the type of valve spring compressor that looks like a pair of pliers.
