New Valve Spring Installation

I Just orderd some HD valve springs for my 12v. I have read that there is a tool that I can use to change them with the head on. Can anyone direct me to where I might purchase one.I also would appreciate any tips photos on installation. Thanks.

A KD2078 is one of the best valve spring compressors to use. You can go here for some instructions http://www.peakdieselperformance.com...7671/93274.htm

I have always used a cheap compressor from my local auto parts place. Under $10.

Be aware that this is for a '93 1st gen CTD. Your mileage may vary.

Hope this helps.
