Hopefully someone can help me out here. I am planning on changing out the heads on my 04 XB12R this weekend. Are there any special tools needed in regards to this change? I have all the basic tools. I am from the car world so if I have a valve spring compressor for car springs will that work for the springs on my Buell or do I need to buy a specific tool for valve springs on a bike? Any other specific tools I will neeed for this head change that car tools will not work for? TIA

Gearcase cover removal, I have removed my gearcase cover to replace it with another and realized that cams 2E and 1E have come out with the casing, is there a quick way to reassembly this without having to loosen the head off, for the pushrods and to get the correct timing, or will I have to take the timing cover off and unbolt cam 2E and loosen the head off to get the pushrods back up..?
