My friend who works in the trade doest ave a valve spring compressor himself, he has to borrow it off other work mates. But he has torque wrench, good socket set, lots of other tools, and most importantly experience.
As for the porting, i'l going to buy this tool set. What do you think? should do the job??

It looks OK, but make sure you can buy replacement and extra grinding bits for it. It is certainly cheaper than the dremmel.

cheers mate. will give them a ring soon and ask them if replacementa can be bought.

those arn't all that,   the tool is good  and you'll find it easy to get in and around the port without snagging it but ali will clog those pink stones allmost instantly and will end up useing the sanding rolls,   those cheep tungsten carbide bits on ebay will shift metal a lot faster and last much longer than stones,     those tungsten carbide burrs one ebay with one of those clarke engraveing tools should work,  think they were both 1/8"    to rip round ports my top favoret is a 1/4" shaft bur on cheep electric drill then do the delicate stuff with a smaller machene,  only problem with that is snagging a 1/4 burr is not good news

so you recommend the ones from ebay then? there cheaper too

agreed that is awesome. Ive been thinking abut it, and i think im gonna first stick the gti manifold and downpipe and shaved hedgehog, and then, while i make full use of that work on the head over the weeks, by porting it as best as i can, polishing it and getting it rebuilt. So gti dizzie, gti manifold + downpipe and shaved hegdehog will be going on very soon, but head i'l be workin gon it for a month or two.
