If you don't trust the "air" method or don't have a compressor, you can use nylon rope. Pull the plugs, put the end of the rope in the plug hole and then turn the motor so that the rope wedges against the bottom of the valves. Change the springs, turn the piston down and pull the rope out. Don't use the yellow rope, it sheds to many fibres. Use the white flexible rope.
that is cool !!!! i'll try it that way ! thank's man ... i need to use the "search"

i ilke the rope idea.
I used air and a compresion tester with the needle valve removed. You can buy the tool to remove hte valves on the car - i forget where I got mine, sears or snap on.com. Not expensive. I have done a couple of fords this way.
Be careful NOT to drop the split retainers into the engine (or the gravel driveway in one case - hard to find!)Chris

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
