Need some idea's
 

I want to do the valve stem seals on my DSM, only problem is that the compressor that i have won't fit down into the head.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do for this little problem?

www.vfaq.com has a home made valve spring compressor

Yeah, thats for when the head is off of the engine. I don't want to pull the head til lthe spring time. Gonna swap out the whole enigne at once.
I made something up with some old sockets, and a BBQ tool. I'll post pictures of it in action tomorrow.

Hers some pics of the tool.

It works pretty well, but the thin metal for the handle bends too easy, I'm gonna make it a bit stronger at work tomorrow.
Got 4 valves done before it was too mangled to use.

your trying to pressureize it so the valves dont fall? Pull the center out of a spark plug, and make an adaptor to hook to your air line.

No no, i have the compression tester kit with the adaptor to pressurize the cylinders.
I was having a problem where the valve spring compressor would not fit in the head. The tool to do this is about 200 bucks, so I made my own tool to compress the springs and remove the seals.

oh my bad.
