i did this job a while ago and used this tool
http://www.amazon.com/Genius-Tools-Valve-Spring-Compressor/dp/B000CE8QTQ

its a bit cheaper, the quality is not bad for the price.

you should get new stem seals too, if you havent already.

before compressing, it does help to tap the springs to loosen the grip on the keepers. i used a magnet to remove and replace the keepers. dont loose them or drop them into the head... that equals bad, if they get stuck in there... and keep all the valves, springs, etc in order. the cam is wear-mated to each one and things may not work properly if out of order. and lightly oil the stems when you reinstall.

to truly know the condition of wear on the cam lobes and valve shims a micrometer would be best. thousandths of an inch are not for eye-balling. you can do this without a book, but i highly suggest you get one to save any unnecessary frustration. and remember to think about how much money you are saving doing it yourself... as long as you are successful :)

have fun
