    the same as you would use on any other valve spring. There are a few different styles, just look to get one that can fit around all the valves because it could be a tight fit. Pretty much any compressor should work though.

    I have one that uses the bottom of the head for leverage.

    The best one's are still the old bar type one's, use one of the bolts from the rocker arms to hold the end in place, hell of a lot better then those clap on things that keep's sliding off the springs f-in hate those

    I like the C-clamp ones, you have to remove the head to use it though.

    C clamp ones are the best.
    you can rent the regular valve spring compressor, but it is pain in the ass to use it.
    what are you doing with B21 head if it is not a secret?
