they make a valve spring installer. the one i ordered worked but it was too hard to press down on because they were dual brian crower springs. i just used a big bar clamp and put it to where i could use the clamp and press down on the intsaller. worked like a charm lol that euro port tool looks like it would work a lot better.

I switched to the euro export tool because you don't need to hold it while fishing the keepers in or out. It's especially helpful if the springs have a lot of seat pressure. I previously had the universal snap-on compressor tool.
