Re: Anyone with a valve spring compressor i can use with the head on for rent

I replaced timing belt bs belt and all the idler pulley crap about 4k miles ago. I found the entire compressor for our heads with the head still on for190 new. Also ebay sells some generic ones that work with a little customizing for 90 shipped. I know guys on dsmtuners who use them. As far as the nylon rope yes thats what i plan to do, but if a valve falls i will pull the head, but hopefully no need. Also since i already have adjustable cam gears on the stock cams, im hoping ot not have to screw with the timing at all, but thats hope i have seen a few people try it and it only worked once. Kinda short on money at the moment, haha i have 200 and thats it, and the car is my daily driver. So if possible i would not like to pull the head because after the 160 dollars for arps' and cometic and then to get it decked and resurfaced plus build the 20 clamp thing i would be way beyond my current budget. College is a pain and ruins all the fun.
As far as being alot of work for 200 dollars true, but im more looking for someone to just come help me get it done right. They can say line that up i will do it and so on. Hopefully they wont even have to get their hands too dirty. Just looking for someone with some considerable experience.
Also i could pay 185 plus you cna have the stock cmas if thats any better of a deal.
