Well, I dunno what Zelinda charges, but from my 4cyl VW roots I know that
Techtonics Tuning sells many tools, including the valve seal pliers, installers,
etc. Most tools should work on your motor too. Here's their website.

The valve spring compressor is $109, so that's not _very_ cheap, but much less
than the labor to have someone else do it. 

The guys at TT are super nice and friendly. They're old school in the VW tuning
bid-ness. Give them a call for any questions (their site is not the greatest for
information, IMO).

HTH,
