OEMTOOLS 24434 Ford Valve Spring Compressor for 2-Valve Engines, Valve Spring Removal Tool Services Lincoln and Mercury Vehicles with 2V V8 Engines, Black

Worked great to remove the rockers on a 2008 F350 with a 5.4L.

Worked great for 2001 ranger

Worked well for my 2005 F150 5.4l 3v timing job. I did 28 follows with this ( I think it was 4 removals then all 24 installs). It does have a bit of a learning curve as i had to reposition a bit at the start but by the end I was knocking them out. Like others stated the threads are very difficult to get started, I did two things to solve for this: 1 - drill into the cap (the part you twist). Be careful and don't drill through it but you want the stem to be able to go farther in. 2 - when you put the forks under the camshaft youre supposed to push them all the way forward so its pushed up against the cam. I couldn't get the threads started if it was pushed up against the cam but if I backed it off just a bit it raises the forks enough to get things started. I never had issues with the forks bending either.

I was looking to buy the OTC tool for this after reading how so many others broke this tool while using. However there were enough positive reviews that I decided to try and save some money so I took a chance on this brand of tool. I am very glad that I did. After removing and installing the roller followers 30 times (6 removal and 24 install) you learn what feels correct and what doesn't. Above all, be patient! This is a tedious process. Be careful to have the tool positioned correctly on the valve spring and in the correct pocket of the cylinder head for the valve spring to be pushed down. It is extremely easy for the tool to catch on the side of a cylinder head bolt boss and hang up. If you keep tightening it, this is when I think these tools can break. When positioned correctly, the amount of twisting force you put on the knob will feel the same for all valves. It if feels tight, then stop and figure out where it is hanging up. An inspection mirror will be extremely helpful to make sure the follower is put back in the proper position. Three times during this process, I didn't have the follower in the correct position and released the valve spring only to discover that I had to do it again on that valve to get the follower in the correct place. Other than that, don't hesitate to buy this tool over the other more expensive brand. It works!

I had to replace some valves on a Ford 4.0 SOHC motor. This tool fits under the cam and relieves the spring pressure to remove the valve keeper's. I did this job solo, however having a second set of hand would make installing the valve keepers much easier.

Slips off of the cam very, very easily. Should've had more aggressive fingers. You'll spend more time fighting the tool than replacing all of your lifters and rockers. Add ¼" length to the fingers and it would be perfect. Also, a way to lock the two pieces together, would be phenomenal.

The tool is decent quality. It made the job much easier and worked as expected.

This tool finally did the trick! After purchasing and returning 2 other cheaper versions (only about half the price of this one) this one works perfectly without any modifications on my 2010 F150 5.4L 3V engine. Was able to easily remove and replace the roller followers with ease. One thing to keep in mind while compressing the springs (and not a fault of the too) is to keep some finger pressure on the valve stem so the keepers don't pop out while compressing. That would make for a really bad day if the valve dropped into the cylinder!!! Thanks OEM Tools for a great product!

I haven’t used it for the project ahead, but looks solid and clean no burrs. I will rewrite a new review once I use for the project. I finally got around to using this tool and it work well on my 2010 f150 5.4 3V, it was a little tricky to get used to it but after doing a few valves it got easier. Great tool to have available.

Worked perfectly. Did the head gaskets on my 2003 Ford Ranger 4.0L. Removed and installed all rollers/followers without any issue

Me gustó que es pequeño y cumplió para lo que lo ocupe.

Product works great. For the others below that had issues. This is for a 4.6 or 5.4 2V SOHC motor, they also provide one for the DOHC motors and the 3V. You will however require this tool plus the DOHC tool when working on the 32V’s as one side will not allow you the proper amount of room to compress the spring safIey. Lastly I have never attempted to use them on any other engines only the one it’s listed for. Mine works great without issues and hasn’t broken yet, I had my previous one get taken from my tool box and not return so I needed to replace it.

This tool was relatively easy to use and the fork was strong enough to push down the valves without bending so long as you centered the tool correctly. This spring compressor did a great job with my 5.4l 3v.
