Sounds good. I was just about to try to hone my welding skills (which are virtually nil) and build something.

I actually have the heads off and still no luck. I have bought three different C-clamp type spring compressors and none work. It's a clearance and alignment issue where they just won't push on the spring squarely. Has any one heard of a stock tool that will get these valves out?
