Re: valve guide seal-spring?

[William Cole <wedge64@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a really slick tool for removing valve springs. It's a small
bar that bolts to two rocker shaft stands and it has a handle in it to
press the spring down to remove the keepers. Wasn't cheap though. I paid
like $75.00 for it. But it works on most any V-8 engine. Got it from
Comp Cams I believe. 
You do have to use air in the cylinders to use it though. Plus it helps
to get the spring and keepers loose buy hitting the retainer with a
plastic hammer first. I can post a picture later if anyone is interested
in seeing what it looks like. I used it when I changed my cam a while
back so I could change valve springs also.
