    Damn - these Chevy engines have strong valves...

    Just been attempting to prep a set of cylinder heads ready for a trip to the engine builder......
    And Ive just BENT my normal set of valve spring compressors - and these are std springs, not even race poundage.... wouldnt have minded but these are (or should I say were!) good quality spring compressors.
    Ye Gods - time to call in the heavy guns

    Forget valve spring compressors, you need suspension coil spring compressors!
