ok, i got a 99 civic pr3-3 head, i wanna change the valve seals/ springs and retainers. so i got the valves out by putting a rag under the head in the combustion chamber then used a deep socket and rubber mallot and hit the retainer lightly to knock the locks out, question is how do i put them back together? a regular valve spring compressor will not fit down in the head, is there a special tool required? or another way to do this? if theres a special tool? anyone know where i can buy it? thanks

 

you need a compressor that looks something like this:
