alright guys i have the valve compressor and everything. i already have all the valves out, and im trying to put them back in and the valve spring comp. wont fit around the spring and in the head. is there a better way to get the valves back in?

There are several different kinds of spring compressors take a pic of yours and someone here can let you know if it will work or not. If I remember correctly the only one that works is the one that grabs the valve face on one side and presses against the retainer on the other.

Those are a bitch to install, you can get a special valve tool for tight clearance heads but how we do it is with a big drill press with a socket we cut out to access the retainer clips and a jig that holds the head.. its ghetto but is quick and painless

anyone know the name of the speacial one? if so i would greatly apricate it

You can rent one of these or something very similar from Advance or GhettoZone. If not it is a very handy tool to have in your toolbox for use whenever needed.
