Default Cam swap... Need some Info!!

I am doing my cam swap this week and was wondering a couple things. What type of spring compressor should I get... I remember reading about a specific type on here one day and I cant find the thread. Also, what size dowel rods do you use to keep the lifters up? Im not a big risk taker so Im not going w/ the russian roulett method... haha. Is there any other specialty tool I need that I may have forgotten?

Thanks guys

I've read that but I have been told you can use a certain size dowl rod instead of that other tool. Do you know what size it is? I think it is like 3/8's or somethin? ...Just tryin to get some extra hints.

Thanks again
