Proform 67605 valve spring tool
Proform 67605 valve spring tool so i just got my proform 67605 valve spring tool in the mail. i took it to the garage to use on my 241 heads that are off the car just to figure out that this is a heads on valve spring tool. if i bolt a 1/4inch thick steel plate to the bottom of the heads and then use the tool i could remove the locks,,, this wont do any damage to my valves right?
(the valve are going to press against the steel plate and allow me to remove the locks)

i was gonna stick some cardboard inbetween the head and the steel plate before bolting them together... also im not overly concerned with the head mating surface simply becase i am going to have the heads slighly milled when im done with my port work.

sounds like you got it figured out - but just FYI (and for anyone else looking) this is a great tool that makes the job really easy, and does not damage the valves or head surface.

You over thought that by a long shot..... Compress the spring ( I realize the valve will go with it), once the spring is far enough down, flip the head around and tap the valve and it will pop right out. Bolting a 1/4 steel plate to the head is somewhat excessive and a waste of time IMO.
