Removing Valves?

I'm gearing up for this head teardown and rebuild, and in looking through the shop manual, it appears I'm going to need a valve spring compressor. I've seen a couple of DIY ones used, but I don't have the means. I've also found one on eBay for about $45.

Before I do anything, I wanted to see if you guys had any tips or tricks.

Thanks

Thanks, I thought about Autozone. I might've found a guy here at work that has one I can borrow. If not, I might use a big-ass c-clamp and fab something up out of bar stock to act as the attachment.

I'll assess the situation when I get the parts.

Thanks again,

No professional valve job, just taking parts from two separate heads, to make one good one, lol.

I have some valve grinding compount, and I'll make sure to lap them before I re-install the springs.
