I'll try to get the specs for the homemade valve compressor .. it's basically a piece of 3/4 square bar stock with a stock cut in one end to hook onto the head of the ballstud and then a hoel cut ou tof the other end to compress the spring. In the Hanyes manul I thinkt hey refer to it as a headoff application but if you took the camshaft off you could use it for that.
To take the camshaft off you are only undoing the bolts on the camtower so the seal should be good. I would not looosen all the bolts at the same time though but isn't neccessary in this case.
Removing the rockers is pretty easy but having to take them off and put them back on to measure the clearance isn't. YOu can lever them off with a wrench and sometimes a screwdriver.. getting the ones towards the back are frustrating but I have done it ..took me couple of hours to adjust the clearnace this way but it worked. it's good workout to be sure.
