Is there a fixture or tool on the market that would allow a person to open the valve reliefs for 2.02" valves in-car?
TIA,

*edit*
Do you mean the cutter uses the head and valve guides as the fixture? Oh, ok. Gotcha.
That's not so bad; a far bit better than pulling & disassembling the engine...
So, it's only the price of the cutter bit, then?

From memory, the threads I read said it was approx. ~150 bones.

Or there's Plan B: Motorhead, Tequila, and a Dremel.
