Find a local hot rod shop, they will have them springs off in an hour. Heck, I can do it in 2 hours and I'm old.

Are you installing PSI 1511 springs? Those are great springs. Not sure of you cam but you should check installed height with these springs to ensure you have enough seat force. Also, if you porting the heads I would contact AI.

Good luck, hope things go better this time.

The best thing you can ever hear from a machine shop is "I'm not very familiar with this type motor, but here is the make and number of a shop who specializes in them -----------------"
