It looks like I have a seized valve guide. Any recommendations on valve spring compressors?
Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Konrad |

Till you figure out what compressor you want you can take the springs off with a rag stuffed in the combustion chamber (heads off obviously) and a appropriate size socket for the valve spring retainer and a hammer. Wack the retainer with the hammer and the keepers should pop out and stay in the socket.
