    Exactly.
    They are about the price for a GOOD set of valve seals anyway.
    Why monkey around?
    $40-60.00 on Ebay.

      Tom,
      Thanks for the offer. BTW the 1100G cylinders are out being bored and milled. The D Port is next

          Here's what I did:






          I'll send you the round spring compressor tool, you just have to supply a big c-clamp and you're in business.
          Just promise to send back my tool when you're done
          This was done on an 82 1000cc 16v head. Twice, when I realized I had put some of the springs in upside down.

          PM me if you're interested.
