    I'm going to be doing the valve springs and rockers on my NA grand prix and have been looking at tools. Searched eBay and not sure what type is good to buy (want this job to be as hassle free as possible).

    Most auto parts stores will have ones to rent for free. Before i knew this, i used the rocker bolt through a crowbar trick (not a good idea)

    Universal Overhead Valve Compressor $13 with a 20% coupon works just fine.
