valve spring compressors?

[Haydn Taylor]

Hey All,

Dumb question.....

Where can I get my hands on a valve spring compressor that will work on my
5KTQ head.

I havea sears one, but it cant reach down deep enought to do the job. I did
manage to get all the valves out today by using my O2 sensor socket as an
extension tube. But I have no chance of doing the same to put them back in
once I am done porting.

I have been searching the web for a while tonight and have seen a system
that uses rails and a cam over lever which looks nice, but how do I hold the
valves up? do I have to bolt clamp the head face down to the bench with a
shim to hold the valves into the combustion chamber.

Anyway- if anyone knows how to do this that would be good.
