RE: valve springs

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

MO,
	There are a few different types of spring compressors available -
the generic screw type requires a lot of twisting that's hard on fingers.
Mancini has a lever type that requires bolting the rocker shaft on for each
valve, but works well.

	A 62-65 guy -  I can't remember his last name right now but I think
his first was Mike, had a nice '64 Sport Fury IIRC - developed a really nice
one a few years back.  It's available from Mancini - a little pricey but
well worth the price if you're going to do it more than once.  It can be
used on the engine, without removing the stamped rockers (not sure about
others).  Has a screw to crank the spring down that can be run with an
impact wrench or cordless driver.  Next time I have to change springs on the
motor I'll have one.

OK Thanks Darwin for sending the pic of the valve spring tool.  With that
and the other replys the idea sinks in.. Roger, I would guess the rope trick
is to feed in thru the spark plug hole when the piston is below TDC and then
turn over the crank untill the rope makes contact with the valves?  Thanks
folks, I can now go to sleep tonight!..........................MO
