I have an old warped head off a d15b2, who cares what it came off of, the point is, it's really warped, and i am trying to take all the parts off of it so i can recycle the alluminum head. I don't have a valve spring compressor, and I "borrowed" one from autozone, but it was too big for the tiny valve springs. What would yall recommend on getting these off? I don't care how much damage it does. I've tried to hacksaw the valves, but it barely even scratched them. Surely there is another way.

Take a deep socket, maybe a 12mm, and 4" extension, and a hammer. Rest the socket on top of the valve retainers, and give it a few good pops. That should be enough to pop the retainers out, and then the valves will slide right out.
