Ok so i’m taking my head apart and cleaning and pretty much replacing everything. So i get ready to take my valves and valvesprings out so I go to Advance and rent their Valve Spring compressor, only to find out it wont work on my head. The VS compressor i used was in the shape of a D. Are their any other tools or ways I can remove them?

If you’d like, I can do it at Swerve for you. Just dissassembly would be super cheap. Re-assembly would cost a bit more.
