821 or 823 rec port LS head you flip the bottom aluminum spacer over to clear the hump between the two holes, that’s why it’s machined like that. Thanks for this video, needed a quick refresher!
I've wondered since the 1st time I saw one of these, what that eyelet is for lol. I wish I had bought one of those compressors just to be quick. I broke Orielys on 1st 660 spring lol. So I made a great one for the bench out of a 12" clamp and welded the 13/16" spark plug socket you never use onto it. cut a window in the socket and it will clamp 400# spring with just finger pressure.
Good stuff. Your valve job went way smoother than mine (I was using harbor freight junk spring compressor). I had to fight and fight to get the spring retainers out! Anyway since you have it apart, put a little lapping compound on the valves and lap them to the head for better seal. I just chucked mine in a cordless drill.
Thanks for sharing! I received the btr valve spring compressor tool today and I had the same question on which way to orient the aluminum plate that you place on first. 👍
The only thing I highly recommend is valve seal fitting sleeves. $6 bucks to be 100% sure the machined sharp edge of the valve does not scuff/cut new seals.

If you place a folded shop towel under the valve faces it will keep them in a better position

Fack men I never leave comments but this was hella helpful 🤘🏾
Haha I was going to say I think you forgot something, but then you caught yourself 😂😂
The cutouts on the tool is for if your using larger springs like the beehive springs
Where did u find this tool?
Is the small gap between the seal and retainer normal on a dual spring setup?
Yes
