Nice job. How did you hold the springs up? Compressed air or TDC? I've done both and would do TDC ALL DAY LONG no problems. Compressed air is a pain in the ***. Especially the satanic number 8 cylinder.

TDC, why would you want to do compressed air, it just makes no sense to me, when TDC is so nice, its like i can mow the lawn with a lawnmower or some scissors which would I rather do?

You couldn't have said it better my friend. TDC method is the man!

I did it compressed air once because I hadn't though/heard of the TDC method before. Never again. Nevah!
