Frequent flyer lately. My apologies for so many questions.
So, another forum reader, answering another one of my questions, turned me on to some of the special tools that I can get from this site for my 2N.
For instance, the W84019 is a little tool that would help me to remove/install the crankshaft rope seals.
I also found 8WR1770, which is a set of tappet wrenches...which would be handy to me, since I'm converting my exhaust valves to adjustable tappets.
I also found B1SB9033 as a valve spring compressor.

Has anybody tried one of these on a 2N, 9N or 8N?
If it works, I'm interested, because I'd like to have a nice, controlled way of compressing my springs during engine re-assembly. During disassembly, I used two tie rod pickle forks levered against each other (actually works). That was great for pulling crap out, but I have a feeling that it won't be steady enough to get the split "keepers" in place...and I might get a pinched finger if it slips.
So...does this compressor work for a 2N?
