Anyone has tried this tool to remove the valve springs or anything?Cause i will propably buy a jp4 head in a sort while and want to transfer the retainers,springs etc from my j4 head.Here's a link to it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lisle-3620...#ht_1819wt_905 and a video of it . Seems pretty easy and fast but dont know if it would work on a saxo head well, so thought i'd ask if anyone has used it.

#2What the?.......Either I'm a complete weakling when I took my valves out using the big C clamp or his springs were soft as hell...
No way in hell could I compress the springs by hand like that. -

#4I was thinking this when I watched it
I bet theyre not cheap
Thing with the G clamps is that it's all about transferring the weight, if you haven't tapped the valve cap to release the collets, and you don't adjust the clamp correctly, its a he'll of a lot harder then it needs to be lol -
