Was wondering if anyone knows a good place to buy the valve spring compressor tool needed for doing a valve adjustment on a vibe gt with the 2zz-ge motor in it. This is the tool that allows you to remove the shims without removing the camshaft or cylinder head.

lucky. in my 1ZZ, you have to remove the camshaft to get to the valve spring (and the stem seals)Looks like you need special service tool (SST) 09248–77010you can supposedly order one from
http://toyota.spx.com, just pretend you have a celica (they list it as part number 09248–77010-01)
