Re: spring compression

It calls for a valve spring spacer T91P-6565-AH to prevent the retainer from contacting and damaging the seal and also the spring compressor T91P-6565-A. Be sure the piston is at the bottom of the stroke and the camshaft lobe facing away from the rocker (camshaft at base circle). You may be able to borrow the tools at AutoZone. I take it no one offered to buy the car. What did you find wrong with the camshaft binding problem?

Try here:
http://all-tool.com/BY_MASTER_CATAGO...e_tools_31.htm
Look at this:
http://aarc.epnet.com/application/91...Arm_Shafts.htm

Snap On, Cornwell or MAC tools would have them also. Ask someone at a local garage who comes around to their shop with a tool truck.

Re: spring compression

OTC is another place. http://www.otctools.com/frames-newcatalog.php3
Click on Distributors to find who sells them. OTC part number is 7928 for compressor.
Also, ask at the machine shop that did engine work for you if they would loan you the tools.
