Installed my 918's finally.. Glad i did!
i finally got around to do the swap with a really easy tool. just filled the cylinders with air and did one spring at a time. took about 2 hours.
i had a stumble at around 5300 rpms and narrowed it down to valve float. this was from my last dyno.
i was able to feel the power drop when driving. i did a quick pass tonite and the stumble is gone.. i need to get on the dyno again to make sure.
Finished product

I just did my springs last week with that same tool. It worked flawlessly and you can't beat it for the $. I bought the air connector also but didn't use it because it was a pain to screw it into some of the sparkplug holes. I just put some rubber tubing inside the hole and rotated the piston to TDC. Worked fine.
