Ive done it many times now. Change out the pressed locks too. Use this with the Mopar shaft adapter

Also need valve gear assembly lube spray from comp. I hit the locks with a few sprays and a soft tap with a dead blow then use the tool and the spray when reassembling. So easy lve literally had my 9 year old son do it with me

Thanks a lot that tool is too expensive for a one time use

Would this one work on the Stealth head? Same as a cast head design? I've know guys that made their own. Use compressed air to hold valves closed...

I have a KD 2400 that I used 35 years ago. Works great, pull the rocker shaft off, use a blank shaft, pull the spark plug, push cloths line into the chamber, change spring. I've done that several times during races. Changed spring between rounds and won the race.

Are you willing to sell or loan me the tool. I can't seem to find one on the internet

Buy the pro form tool and take the shrader valve out of your compression tester to hold air. Screw an air hose fitting on the other end.

Eastwood Universal spring compressor 2078? I used one to change springs but to make it easier I put a hose clamp around arms that grab spring to keep them from slipping off spring. You can weld/braze a nut on the part you use to tighten it then you can put a socket on it. I had piston at TDC on each cylinder as I did them plus compressed air.
