Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I used to have a valve spring compressor, no idea where it is in the garage now or what state it's in. I'll have a root around this evening, if I find it you're welcome to it.

I bought one in my local motor factors about 3-4 years ago, have you tried yours ?

Unfortunately I swopped mine with someone for some other tool.

If you are stuck a flat block of wood and a suitably sized socket should suffice.

PMed you on Saturday, but haven't heard back. I managed to find the spring compressor if you still want it.
