Product Description

The Torque Solution TS-TL-712 Valve Spring Compressor Tool is a precision-engineered service tool designed specifically for Subaru EJ20 and EJ25 DOHC turbo cylinder heads. Constructed from CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum and finished in a durable black anodized coating, this compressor provides a reliable and robust solution for removing and installing valve springs, retainers, and seals during engine rebuilds or maintenance. Zinc-coated steel hardware ensures long life even under frequent shop use, and the included magnetic screwdriver makes handling small keepers easier and safer.

This tool bolts directly to the cam cap locations on compatible Subaru engines - replacing less effective factory tools (such as part numbers 498267600 and 499718000) - and supports a wide range of turbocharged and naturally aspirated EJ applications including WRX, WRX STI, Forester XT, Legacy GT, Outback XT, Baja Turbo, and Saab 9-2X Aero Turbo heads. Whether you're performing routine maintenance or working on a performance build, the TS-TL-712 helps streamline head service with greater precision and confidence compared to improvised methods.
