Clamped big vice-grips to pushrod side of ground down rocker arm. Pressurized the cylinder. Viola. Cheap is good. Free is better. Carol: "Wow! He's really fast, isn't he?!" John: "Yeah... but he's stupid."

Do cylinders at top of compression. Rap them with brass hammer to loosen keepers and oh yes take your pick http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/valsprinremt.html
