    Question valve spring compressor?

    i have a 94 integra and i want to change my valve seals, however, i have a screw style compressor. i just realized you can't use that style compressor cause you don't have the room around the spring to fit it in. I need some help with this if anyone knows something i dont. Also i dont want to take the head off the car due to the fact it is turboed and i dont want to go through the trouble of disassembling it, i know someone has had to of done this before. thanks Jon

    It would be a whole lot easier to just take the head off.
    I do rb20 and rb25 wiring into s13 and s14's 300.00 shipped 24hr turn around turn ket start guaranteed! PM me for more details!
