I just did this job on my v8 BMW - but I took the heads off and used the big C-Clamp compressors and it was easy peasy!
I had to take the heads off for other reasons really (chain guides, and to drill out air-flow passages).
As it happens I have the original tool that was recommended on here, somewhere.. Never did use it. Somebody else did my Supra for me years ago.

I've got a question, I have the ferrea valve stem seals, I'm going to install some GSC S1 cams, and Springs, can I put the ferrea seals in the stock valves?? Anyone knows?

I recently replaced my valve stem seals using this how to, was excellent. I used Supertech seals. Heres a pic of new against old!
On cold start up occasionally I would see heavy blue smoke also on acceleration although not so heavy.
Car is spot on now.![]()

There’s an adon available for Firefox users too which works fine
Just type “photobucket embed fix” on the adon page
Awesome to see this all fully documented and talked about!
So good to see these posts. Wish it was like the old days when enthusiasts documented their good work guides
