Valve Spring Compressor
I've misplaced my flathead valve spring compressor (or it was "borrowed" by someone ). Any recommendations on a good replacement? Is the KD380 worth the money? Anyone know the difference between the KD380, the KDT380, and the KDS380?

I have one you can borrow, don't plan to use it any time soon.

Carter, thank you for posting the photo. If I haven't found my compressor (it's been awhile since I've seen it, but I vaguely recall it looked something like the top one) when I start disassembling my 230 six, I'll PM you.
