I tried that, from the diagram in the Haynes manual.
Now made my own from some old clutch plates bolted together.
Works just fine....
As I said, only joking, got most of the special tools for these now.
The only thing I've had to pay someone to do for ages is re-cutting valve seats- I really can't justify buying a set including all the mandrels for occasional use.
Oh, and dyno runs, obviously!
