Hi Michael... a few places make a piece that screws into your spark plug
hole on the head, and you hook a compressor up to it, filling the
cylinder with compressed air
keeping the valves up... by far the easiest way to do it... I think they
may even sell them at Harbor Freight... I'm sure Powerhouse has them too...

Put a new cam in the '66 454; am now changing out the valve springs.
First time I've done this, and it's going slow. Any tricks to keeping
valves in closed position while compressing the spring? Seems it's
more "luck of the draw" whether the stud-mounted compressor I'm using
will press the valve into the head or not, for either the removal or
the installation step. Heads are on the engine, in the car; tips or
tricks welcome. Thanks.
Back to the garage!
