Air powered spring compressor?
Re: Air powered spring compressor? The only thing that I have heard of is an adaptor to go in the spark plug hole to keep the valves up to remove the springs without pulling the heads.

If there are compressers which will accept a rachet, and there are pneumatic ratchets... Um... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Air powered spring compressor? Air powered spring compressors have been around for 20 years that I know of, but all that I've seen assume that the head is off the car. Every reasonable automotive machine shop has one or more. They look like big C-clamps with the handle replaced by a pneumatic cylinder.
