[QUOTE="03' White Snake, post: 16966962, member: 51916"] Ok, there are 2 ways this is going to work…. Both will require a compression checker kit modified to compress the cylinder to hold the valves shut and in place with an air compressor. 1. You get the correct OTC or Ford tool that uses the cam as leverage to compress the springs and fight with the keepers. They have them for intake and exhaust separately so do your homework. There is not much room in there and tough to do by yourself. 2. You buy the cheap EBay tool. Plan on removing the timing cover, chains, tensioners, cams, and every timing component for the tool to work on a bare head without cams in place. Still will need to compressed air in the cylinders to do this. If your cams have been degreed, that’s an entirely different task now. [/QUOTE]
