    pulling the springs out in the car is not the easiest thing to do and requires a fair bit of skill and prep to MAKE SURE you dont loose any of the collets in the motor.

    If you have never done this before or have seen it done i would not try this on your own !! as it will most def end it trouble

    agreed... it's an "advanced backyarder" method... and not always successful...

    you stuff up and drop one valve and you may as well have pulld the head off anyway

    think of it as an opportunity to decarbon the head
