Romeo heads...while replacing valve stem seals, has anyone ever unbolted just one cam girdle at a time to replace seals/springs? I have the cams held in place at #1 cylinder TDC, with OTC hold down tool so they wont rotate.

What year of Mustang engine are you working on? Knowing that, this question can be moved to the section that will get you more help. If you have a picture of your ride, that’s fun in the welcome wagon posts.
I hope we can help.

Just an FYI. The SOHC 2v spring compressor tool is very cheap ($25). Seems like a smarter idea to me. I have this tool and it works well. The springs are not hard to remove on the SOHC 2V motors.
