OK, thanks guys. Seems to work quite well.
What I did was make up a tool for the inlet side that worked well. flat steel about 1/2" wide, 1/8" thick. long enough to tuck down in the lip inside bottom of cam case below valve. Just after it passed the valve stem I bent it up about 30 deg and had about 2" extending beyond bend. This gave me something to lever on. Worked really well in all confined spaces. Did not work on the exhaust valves - different case configuration and studs in the way. So I put a 13mm socket on the valve adjuster and a long extension bar on the socket and pushed on that - about as hard as I could to deflect the valve. Still got one lower side to do, but seems all is OK so far.
Thanks again. Always learning something new on this board.
Alan
