tools
it is a little high in price but buy the crane cams #99473-1 valve spring compressor tool if you are doing any spring work. i got mine from jegs.com. this is what i believe to be the greatest tool for valve spring replacement i have ever used and i would have paid twice the price that it is. see ya

Krytox, my new best friend, also goes by Leslie's Pool and Spa Lube (which does not say Krytox on it anymore). Look up a Leslies Pool and Spa in your town or order it online. This is for conditioning weatherstrip, pool guys use it to condition o-rings. I used to use dilelectric grease on weatherstrip for years but all that does it make it kind of smoother and nicer looking. This stuff actually softens the rubber, I installed new weatherstripping and applied dielectric grease. After about a week there was almost no difference. I tried Krytox and I can tell the weatherstripping is softer and it made an awesome seal. It actually made the doors and hatch stick to the weatherstripping making them harder to open 
i love it
