Message	This tool looks pretty nice but I agree that it would take quite a bit longer to pull all of the keepers. I used the bluepoint tool listed above. It worked great for removing them but installing them was a pain. I actually ended up dropping a keeper down the right oil drain hole in the head... Ended up pulling the engine to get it out. I decided if I went that far that I would do a full rebuild. I had low compression on two cylinders. Plug the oil drain ports in the heads while you're pulling the keepers out.
