As the title suggests really, has anyone got any recommendations for a valve spring compressor that'll do 20v inlet valves?

All the one's I've tried don't fit for one reason or another...
And if someone local wants to lend me one in exchange for beer that'd be even better! :beerchug:

Thanks chaps!

Experiencing the same issue, is this the best type of compressor to use ?
I have a g clamp style one but it doesn't fit
 
Funny how this post rears it's mug again now as I just started stripping a head with these last night, having bought the kit back in February... And yea, spot on. Easy to use, fits right in there and leaves enough room to poke a magnet in and pick out the collets.

Also a lot more controlled than the g-clamp type, I often find the g-clamp ones ping a lot when you open/close them making it awkward... And for a tenner, you really can not go wrong!

Has anyone else had the issue of the treads in the 'U' bar are not round and need to be chased with a M14 tap? I'm sending mine back as only 3 days since arriving, but have tried with another M14 thread from wheel bearing removal kit, and sticks after 3 threads.
 
Anyone got an upto date linkie by any chance? Or a picture that I can work from?

Ta!
