When I get round to it I think I will let a garage do it now lol

If you have the timing cover,timing chain and cams off you dont need to lock the crank as all the valves are closed. I have done a few sets and wouldnt reccommend anyone doing them at home without the right tools,especially after a few beers lol. They take alot of patience and care as the collets can fly out anywhere if you try and rush.

can be done in car without the head comming off

ok, I thought the compressed air idea would be used but my mechanic hadnt done a set on a falcon yet so didnt know if you could do the job in car, but suggested it most likely, just wante dot check

cheers guys

so what springs do people recomend? I get the idea the atomics are the way to go?

yeah atomic seem to be pretty good - people have had some trouble with the nizpro ones

I do all the work on my cars myself, but I was happy to fork out the $495 to get my Atomic springs fitted.

recently had this done -

paid $225 for the upgraded valve springs and $485 to fit them 5-6 hours work, head stays on.
