After a man named, Patrick Coleman, drove my car (withou permission), and mis-shifted. He bent all my intake valves. So I rebuild it. But None of the Shop Vavle Compressors would work. They were ones used on old Muscle cars. Anyway. So I bought a 6" C-clamp. And I had some heavy-duty, 20mm+ deep socket. So I took one, cut it like so.

And but the stationary side on the bottom of the valve, and placed my hacked socket on the spring retainer. I just screwed down the sockets and got a the keepers out.

Sometime you gotta do, what you gotta do to make things work. :thumb:

:laugh: Nice dude :thumb:

Just as long as it works!
 
It was flying away from me on the top, but on the bottom it was hitting my arms, tingles, but didn't hurt.

**EDIT**
Besides, I don't have long hair and a full beard like some other Santa-Clause Looking Serial Bombers:p
 
I object to the term "ghetto" being used to describe this. We ghetto people would much rather steal someone's unbastardized head from their car/garage than take the time to fabricate such a device. :D

Oooooooooooooooooh! LOL, I didn't even pick up on that. He's got a point on that, man I didn't even know I was throwing that crap in there, Oh well. The deal with that car never went through, so I bought the whole 6-bolt engine for $300. Damn, do I feel like a Valley girl or, like, waaat?!?

I have 4 heads, thats right... I get alot of head.....s
