A tool for removing valve springs without removing head. Use compressed air connected to the cylinder to hold the valve up.

Here is a pic of my homemade carb synchronizing tool.
Each bottle has a tube that goes from just into the top to a carb. Then each bottle has a tube that goes from down in the liquid and into the liquid in the bottle adjacent.
When the vacume is greater in a bottle than in the bottles it is connected to , the fluid level starts to rise. When the vacumes are even the levels stay static.  If the carbs are spot on the levels all become the same due to a sypon effect.
Need to be careful that the carb sync is not so far out that one bottle fills so quickly it reaches the top. For this reason it is best to have as little liquid as possible in bottles.
There is a small Tap in the lines between the bottles to slow things down or isolate pairs of carbs.
The bottles are filled with water an a dash of food coloring. Could use trany fluid?
