Compact Automotive Tools, LLC. Welcome to Compact Automotive Tools, home of the Compact Double Valve Spring Compressor an innovative tool for the BMW N62 engine. at 60,000 miles.

My name is Rick Ramsey, I have enjoyed a great career as a BMW technician, service advisor, service manager and independent European car technician with certifications in ASE, BMW, and Ferrari. In September 2013, I was persuaded to help a friend replace the valve guide seals on his 2006 BMW 550i (smoking like ...) Researching everything available on the web, I concluded the best course of action w

as to purchase a universal valve spring compressor. The first step in this project is often Engine removal, yet working in a small home garage meant this was not an option. The universal valve spring compressor didn’t work well for this repair and the project evolved into the definition of Murphy’s Law. Still, I struggled through bank one {passenger side} and cylinders five and six before deciding there had to be a better way. Working from my tool bench I designed a small, effective device which allowed the project to be finished smoothly and quickly. The success of this invention initiated development, refining and patent pending status for the “Compact Double”. I am pleased to offer a well made professional tool freeing both hands to work while saving you significant time and money.

Hi guys I’ve been hiding out the last couple of months. Inventory is getting low so I’m going to get back to it. If your ready to buy or need something just let me know.

I just got feedback today from a customer that used the n62/n63 tool. He was replacing valve seals on a n62 with the engine in the car and cams removed.
“Rick,

“Just wanted to say thanks again for getting this out to me so quick. I used it today and this thing is a miracle. It normally takes me 5-6 hours to do the n62 seals. With your tool I had them done in under 3! It seems very well made and I appreciate the quality.

After making and selling this tool I have had one returned. It was unused I believe the young man had gotten in way over his head but hey we’ve all been there at some point in our careers.

If you have a comment or story let’s hear it.
Thank You all
Rick R

Hello, just a note to let you know our inventory has been replenished and orders are once again being filled for BMW n62/n63 valve spring compressors. Little did I realize when I designed this tool that it would work on most BMW four valve per cylinder non valvetronic engines. A couple others have cropped up as well, the Peugeot engine used in the Mini Cooper and the very popular Subaru 16 valve engine family. Surely there are others out there if you come across one let us know.
Enjoy your holiday!

I'm making progress on the n63 tool. I have received a couple of the tool parts from the supplier and just need two more before I can start delivering the tools.
Stay tuned

Autohaus of Maplewood has been using the Compact Double Valve spring compressor for a couple of months now. The Compact Double provides the tool they need to compete with independent shops concerning N62 V8 engine valve seal replacement.
