Spring question - half stock and half CC918's Started installing Comp Cams 918 valve springs today with titanium retainers before doing my cam swap. I'm using the MORE performance tool. It should be called the POS performance tool, as it keeps slipping off the retainers 
Long story short, in 4 hours I got 4 springs replaced (#1 and #6 cylinders). Had to put the car back together. Will this screw up anything driving limited with only 1/4 the springs replaced? I wouldn't think it would, as I have a CC918 on the intake and exhaust of both #1 and #6 cylinders. I'll get to the rest shortly.....just might be a couple days
Anyhow, any input would be great. Also, if someone has some helpful suggestions on using the MORE tool I'm all for it (telling me to throw it away isn't helpful ) I'm DREADING doing the #8 cylinder with that thing

Phil, its not going to hurt anything to go back n forth to work. Will have it fixed up tomorrow man. I'll bring my More Valve tool over, we can start a lil collection of useless ****! One look at mine and you'll see why I hate that POS so much, but I think you already know.

Yep, I'm elated that I'm not the one changing the rest
Again...well worth the $$ to save my back, knuckles, and patience.

but I have used the More tool /Larry tool with great sucsess, Me and my bud on here,BLKWS6 have done over 25 cam/spring installs and both tools have merit but of course we have cam/spring installs down to 4.5-5.0 hours from start to finish. Just take your time and stay with it,it will get better the more familure you become with it.
