Got up early as I wanted to spend the day stripping the V8 heads....
Foolishly I thought I'd have all the valves out by the afternoon, until the namby-pamby compressor bent.
Quick phone call to borrow another one.... that one bent too! I still have 14 valves to remove!
Before I spend money on a replacement, does anyone know a decent sort I should look for (not Snap-On cos I ain't loaded!!)
Am I asking too much of them?! The springs are pretty tough (inner and outer springs) but surely any spring compressor should cope?! MAybe I should look at what the HGV boys use....
I tell you I've bust that many tools working on this engine it's unreal!
