Gasket removal?
ok my gasket scraper im using will take me 100 years to get the gaskets off my intake manifold, does anyone have a better method than this?
plus anyone know if its possible to remove the valve springs without using a valve spring compressor? thanks.

 thats pretty dangerous man, i would reccomend not doing it! if a springs under load and u loosen it to come off, bye bye eyes, that thing will most likely shoot off and hit u in the facejust goto an auto place that has a rent a tool thing and do the job right!

if its in the car, make sure u dont get anything in the ports.... if its not in the car then u'll b fine
