So after figuring out that I need to make my own tool to replace a valve spring without removing the head, I have designed and am building one that will use the studs from two of the cam bearing caps as stable points and then presses the spring down. Figuring that it works ok, would there be any interest in me posting pictures of the tool for others to make? I figure that as rare as valve spring breakage is on these cars, it still must happen sometimes, and to have to remove the head to fix it is just silly when nothing else is bad. So yeah, give me any opinions on this....tata, and thanks again for all the helpful info on diagnosing my car's engine issues.
