cam install???
cam install??? when I go to install my cam and springs would it be worth it just to remove the headsto change the springs, or will it be more pain than its worth to get the heads off of the motor with it in the car. It just seems like it would be easier to do a spring swap with the heads off the motor.
Crane Tool and leave the heads on. I was rather aprehensive about doing the springs with the heads in the car too, but then I just finally borrowed the tool and did it. Not as bad as it seems, and you can have both of your hands free to mess with the locks and ****.

I would recommend using the pen magnets on the tips of the valve stem to hold the locks in place when you release the spring compressor.
And removing the heads is a lot more work than you want to have to do. You would need to clean the sealing surfaces, and every bolt hole needs to be dried out and the threads cleaned. It's really a pain to do. Plus you need a set of head gaskets.

And plug the head bolt reliefs in the heads with some paper towels or rags. A buddy of mine had a lock drop down in there and we had to pull the head off to get it!
