[TR] TR6 Valve Stem Seals.

[ptegler]

In the past, personally I've used about 5-8 ft of 1/4" nylon rope, fed down 
into the sparkplug hole, rotate the engine the compress the rope up against 
the valves to hold them in place.

The issue though is the type of valve spring compressor you need to use to 
remove the collets. I built my own long lever tool that bolted to the rocker 
stud as a leverage point compress the valve allowing the collets cap and 
spring to be removed.

There are off-the-shelf spring compressor avail that look and work a bit 
like steering wheel puller or large C-clamp.... two fingers that hook the 
spring, and as you tighten the large screw, two fingers that push the cap 
down.  GEM is one manufacture of that type..... source to purchase?...you'll 
have to dig around the internet,,,, can't remember off hand here.
