I used a Sears "C" valve compressor - $19.95, and to push down againsst the springs I crafted a 4" piece of 1" galvanized pipe with a big notch cut out to access the collets. So the clamp had something to "bite" against I used a large steel washer glued on top of the pipe. Then I used a magnetized hook probe to fish out the collets. To install the collets I used a small flat screwdriver with grease as the glue. Must also use the protector sleeve so as not to damage the internal lifter walls.
Don't forget to check valve seats for damage, and do at least a valve lapping to ensure full compression. Search back for tips on lapping and general DIY head work.
