Message	[ www.jimwolftechnology.com ] MSRP ~ $22 and OMG worth it. JWT recently added this to their site, it's a small helper tool which allows a single person to replace valve springs in a VG30DE(TT) with the motor/heads still in the car. This really makes the whole process pretty painless. If you're going to tackle VG30DE(TT) valve spring replacement this should be in your tool box. Direct link: [ http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/customer_part_detail.asp?PartID=521 ] From their site: If you have ever tried to replace valve springs on a VG30DE(T) engine, in the car, you will appreciate this little gadget. Just slide the special bucket over the valve spring, bolt the tool to a bearing cap bolt hole, tap the bucket to break the keepers loose and screw the tool down until the keeper are free and contained in the bucket, safe from falling into the engine. See instructions for details.
