Hey All,
Does anyone know where to get a good valve spring compressor for the U20 head.  
All Ive
been able to find around here is the typical bulky things with clips that go on 
either
side of the bottom of the spring which are way to bulky to get into the valves. 
 What Im
looking for is something that hooks onto the head (to a port maybe?) that has a 
long
handle extending out over the head and a pivoting drop link from the handle 
that fits
right over the top of the retainer.  Im open to other ideas as well.  Nissan 
makes one
for the L series heads that should work but I dont know if you can get that 
through a
dealer.  Or for that matter if theyd even know what it is anymore.
Any Ideas,
Brian
