Hello All,
        I am wondering about the feasibility of changing the valve seals on
my car myself?  Want to do the 'use compressed air to keep the valves from
falling' method.  I know I need an sparkplug adaptor to pressurize the bore,
a spring compressor,.. and what else?  Is this something that is reasonable
to do in your driveway?  I have very vague recollections of using a spring
compressor in auto shop in high school but that was at least 3-4months ago
and the memory is pretty dim
        Thanks,
                Daniel Neuman
