Valve Spring Compressor

[InjectorService]

I'm looking for a valve spring compressor that can be used to take the shims off of a shim over bucket system without pulling the camshafts. I'm told this exists and looks sort of like a fork that compresses the spring using the bucket itself.

you'll probably have to be more specific since different manufacturers are going to have different diameter buckets. Just out of curiosity is this for a Nissan?

This is actually for a Yamaha outboard. I don't think there is anything available for the outboards specifically, but I figured something would be able to be adapted.

I don't have a bucket measurement but the shim on my desk is exactly 30mm in diameter.

Something like this? Honestly might be easier to fabricate something rather than modify.

Have you called Yamaha to see if they make/made something?

I still have some from back in the day just search for valve shim tool

Motion Pro and Pit Posse brands have a lot for motorcycles so maybe look there first.
