ive never used the more tool, but ive heard it works pretty well, so you might be doing something wrong. Have fun with the #8 cylinder! but after that the other side is cake! Ill be lurking for the first start-up tomarrow. Good luck!

No matter how difficult or impossible it seems Cash, stick with it. You will be very happy in the end.

True, When you get back from work you should head to autozone or kragens or what not and try and rent the better spring tool.

I rent the tools to make it 100% easier. jpr rods, crane dual spring tool, and air fittings for the cylinder to pressurize to keep the valves up. pm me for details
