Spring/Rod Install at Jons

Also depends on what type of spring compressor you have. I'd say you could do it in 4 hours or less the 1st time. You could also bring each piston up to TDC one at a time...they'll keep the valves from falling through as well...but it's too tough to get the spring back on and too scary.

I just pushed down on the spring with my finger, turned my magnet on, picked out the locks, and off came the spring.
