valve springs
Hello all,
I have a '89 Firebird 305. I need to repalce my valve springs and I dont want to remove the heads. I know there are lots of tools that will do this job, I am looking for the "Best" tools to do this. I already have a leakdown tester, this will keep the valves from falling. Just look a the best valve spring compressor. Like I said this job will be done with the heads installed. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

You might also want a magnet wand to pick up the locks, sometime's they're hard to get to. Also, make sure to cover the lifter valley so you don't loose a small part somewhere.
