Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Dodge Neon 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

how am i supposed to remove and reinstall the valves on a dohc neon ive tried evrey tool offer by every auto parts store (which is very limited) ive asked many people who supposedly have automotive experiance i have resorted to using a old scholl c- clamp style valve compressor with a 1/2 drive socket jamed in it but that only seems to work one a few valves i was wondering what the proper valve spring compressor is and how i can get ahold of one

Hi there ,

This type of valve set up is a real pain, there will be a special factory tool to do this, as you have found out there is no easy way to do it, i am unsure if there is a readily available after market compressor that will do the job, may be contact a head repairer and see what they use.
