So i recently picked up a set of cams and springs for my car. Was trying to figure out a way to replace the valve springs with the head installed.
Came across this, http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-how-requests-questions-tips/239619-how-car-valve-spring-retainer-install.html

Now i already adapted my compression tested to work but i was wondering if anyone had the valve spring compressor i could borrow.

Or if anyone has any other ways that they did it that would be great thank you!

But to do it with the head on use air to hold that valves up. I have done it both ways
