Tsidrift1: Evo IX Project.
Yea, I checked those out. They have them on ebay. I may pick one of those up instead just cause you.can do the job by yourself with that one, the other would be tricky by yourself.
Also there is a schrader valve in the compression tester hose like a tire valve stem. Remove that and use the nice flexible hose rather than assembling the apparatus he had to put air into the cylinders. The compression tester hose clicks right into an air hose.
I will prolly use the good ole bylon rope trick. Pick up a bag of that super soft nylon roped, feed it into the spark plug hole and then rotate the crank. Thats the way I did it with my 1g years ago.
I ordered the compressor tool today, still undecided on what springs to get. I know the gsc 5041 kit is prolly fine, but then I hear so many good things about kiggly. Then I look at the price of the supertech dual spring kit, which Im sure will do the job and is what Devin@Boostin reccomends. Still cant figure out which ones I want to get.

After doing some research tonight, I have been reading about shimming the valve springs for the correct pressure. My head was redone last year with a valve job with std size ferrea valves. Now I am reading all this info about shimming and whatnot to get the correct pressure.
Where do I find shims at? I would like to do this right this time around. I thought maybe with the machine work, that my valve spring height has adjusted to the wrong pressure, maybe this is causing my valve float too??

GOOD NEWS!!
I installed my GSC high rev springs friday night. I used the eurotool and it helped a bunch. Then did the rope trick in the cylinders to hold the valves up.
Took the car out today and made a couple pulls.....finally! I can make a shift and the car just kicks into the next gear, no more sputtering after the shift! I enjoyed the small drive I took the car on today, took advantage of the nicer weather today!
Washed the car yesterday, did a full wax job on it today. Nice and clean for the winter.
I will drive the car over the winter on those random unseasonably warm days that come and go here in the midwest lol.

Good to hear man, glad she is working for you now. Car is f ****in clean!!!
thanks Joey. I gotta get back up to Boostin now and have Devin finish the race map on the car. it was cut short at 37psi due to the valve springs and a loose knock sensor.
