In-Car Valve Spring Compressor

Anyone got one i can borrow by any chance? I need something that i can get to the back cylinders with. Also does anyone know the size of the JRP tools? I don't want to pay $85 for two rods of metal.

Get 2 5/16 wooden dowels from Home Depot...(about $1.25)
Spend the money and get the Crane Cams Valve spring tool.

Take my word for it..it is the best tool out there.
