How to change valve springs?
What is the easiest way to change the valve springs with the engine IN the car? I just bought a 2000 TA, medium sized cam, and after talking to a guy that looked at buying it, I think I would be better off pulling a spring and getting it measured.
Would it be easier to pull the 6 bolts from the subframe, and pick up the car 6" or so?

I have a tool I made when we did my brother's springs/retainers after he blew up his LS1, but we did that with the subframe/engine out of the car. Im not worried about when I pull just 1 to test it, I am worried about needing to change them how much of a PITA the ones under the cowl are going to be.
