The reason for this thread is that most commercial spring compressors do NOT work on this head due to tight clearances and none of them work with the cam shafts in place. The tool skunkworks built allowed VSS to be changed without removing heads/cams/timing belt.

If find a tool for $30 that will do this I will buy two and give you one.
