Does anyone know if any businesses (like Discount Auto Parts) rent out valve compressors? The reason I'm asking is b/c I'm thinking about doing the cam job w/ valve springs etc.

 

autozone probably does...

 

Yes they do. And its free too.

 

Nevermind; I need an air compressor. The mechanic I'm talking to said he already has a valve compressor. He said having an air compressor with the valve compressor makes the job easier. Autozone does have valve compressors for rent for about 20 dollars. I just got through checking today.
That being said, are there any air compressors for rent out there?
Thanks.

 

yeah, that is a different tool, you can pump the cylinder up with air so that you can swap the springs without removing the head.

 

you pump the cylinder with air so when you remove the retainer and spring the valve doesnt fall into the engine

heres a tip put affected cylinder to TDC before removing the valve then when it drops a little the piston will keep it from falling down inside the cylinder
