Ok i'm in the process of putting my car back together and I'm having problems putting the valves back in my head. I bought a valve spring compressor (the c clamp looking one)but i don't have enough clearance to get the spring to compress enough.Someone tell me how you got your springs to compress enough to get the keepers back on.

well...from what i know i beleive that there is a special tool for that and i think its number is in the chilton book i never done it so i dont excatly know. ithink it is a bigger clamp.
sorry couldnt help much
