I am installing some valvetrain and do not want to remove the head. How is this done? I was thinking of keeping the combustion chambers filled with compressed air(using a compressor) so that the valvesprings and retainers could be removed and changed with out haveing the valve fall down into the combustion chamber. Any ideas…or if you have already done this could you list the fitting ect. that you used. (pics of the fittings)
TIA.

Look around here and you will find what you’re looking for. I don’t think Dan minds. Dan’s imagestation profile
what kind of spring compressor are you using?
just pick up another ls head, they are not that expensive at all, and build it out of the car and get it ready, and then one afternoon just swap the new head onto the block, swapping heads is not a big project at all either, it should take maybe 2 hours for a first timer to do it, just get a helms manual and you are pretty much set, this would be a much safer and easier route in my opinion
