Can someone walk me through how to test a valve spring?  I have the  
spring tester you put in a vice as well as the kind you use with a  
torque wrench.  In either case, I need to know the compression length  
(I think) of the spring in order to determine the spring rating, and  
I don't.....


Thanks
