Yeah, I was looking for one for our cars and had no luck, so I decided to make one. I was trying to find a compressor adapter that would allow more access to the keeper, but none of them were cost effective. I tried a few different things and what I finally settled on is actually quite adequate. I changed all of the valve springs and retainers faster than a standard type valve spring compressor, (the vice type). The alignment is perfect, so installing the keepers is extremely easy and fast. I'll have to shoot a video here soon for you guys. I changed all of the valve springs and retainers on my head while still on the car, in about 15-20 minutes tops. You just have to make sure you pressurize the cylinders or fill it with rope to make sure the valve doesn't drop.
