Oh, I read the warnings on the valve spring compressor, I just didn't think I was going to be the one to purchase it. Heck, I didn't even know I'd be working on this engine until a couple days ago. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I will need it at some point, so it's no sweat off my back, but I had a large "c" style compressor that on a whim I ran back home to see if it would work. It didn't of course, but it didn't hurt to try. We don't even have the seals yet, so not a big deal. It's handled. I know mxmikie offers one for rent, but being in Quartzsite, it's not the most convenient location when it's needed. Driving 30 miles locally to loan/rent a tool is a little easier to do than 150 miles. Especially at these gas prices. And if you have a working engine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />
