I made some tooling to adapt my buddy’s homemade spring compressor (for Jag XKE) for use on the Yamaha head.  Discovered a couple of broken valve keepers – FB put me in touch with a US serviceman stationed in Okinawa Japan.  He bought and mailed me a pair of keepers.  Turns out valve seals are the same as an 82 Toyota pickup with 2.4L diesel – easily available through Rock Auto.

Nice hemi chamber.
