Default Valve Spring compressor adaptor, C-clamp style for Bseries VTEC

Head is off of car. Plan on getting the Craftsman C-clamp style compressor for $20, but I have read that an adaptor is needed. Where can I get this adaptor?

Here is a pic of the compressor.

You will need to be creative to use that c-clamp style one.Because the valves springs/retainers sit down in the casting they are hard to get at.You need something like this on the retainer end of the compressor. http://www.goodson.com/g5-bin/...P3141
