    valve spring swap

    I need to swap over to a set of yellow valve springs, but i dont want to buy the tool for 130 bucks from summit, i also dont want to pull the heads and take them to a shop, does anyone have a tool i could buy or any ideas for cheaper ways to swap in some new valve springs.

    I have the comp cams valve spring compressor. I'll sell or rent it, whichever works for you
