I’m looking for MBZ1021 valve spring compressor.
Let me know if you have one.
Thanks

Is this for some special application? An ordinary valve spring compressor will work on any 113 cylinder head.

Mark, allen No. 5 will do the job - if it is a one-off job, like valve adjustment or dismantling.

See Fig. 7 there. You do not even need the vice-grip.

If not, some ideas here: https://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=28717.0

Thanks guys.
I got the head disassembled with the universal compressor. I’m still looking for a proper tool though.
When the time will come to put it all back together, I don’t want to jump through the hoops again.
