Removed the head off of the 2.0 today, under the thick coating of oil that is EVERYWHERE the internals are sweeet. The pistons look sweet, though they have the normal coating of carbon, the valves are all straight and only two stem seals have gone

One question though. How the fuck do you use a valve spring compressor. I can compress the valve spring, but then I get no access to the collet. I'm confuzzled...

I can't get access to the tops of the valves as my compressor gets in the way - looks like this one:

It seems parents threw it away, along with nearly a whole Corsa worth of spares!
