ok, i'm gonna do it with the heads on, i got the 14mm air-hold fitting for the spark plug hole, and while at autozone today to get a 3 jaw puller i saw and picked up a basic valvespring compressor, both a mistake, lol. I first stripped out the center bolt on the puller only 5 mintues after i started using it, and then i tested the valve spring compressor out on a spare set of '00 ls1 heads and i broke the compressor, haha, i returned both tools and got my money back. So i finally just closed my eyes and opened my wallet, and ordered the "more" valve spring compressor tool from thunder racing, along with the JMR cam install tool that holds the lifters up. the tools are expensive but i dont wanna be messing around with half assed junk. And, i figure once i have the tools, they'll always be in my tool box for future swaps/projects and i would even consider renting them out to anyone looking to install their own cam/valvesprings without spending $200 on specialty tools... eh life goes on... lol
