This or similar. Don't be tempted by the smaller cheaper version, it's not up to the task.

I have now got the clinder head off and trying to strip it, I have loosened all the eccentrics and most of the rocker arms are loose, except for two, which are still sitting very tightly against the camlobes and the valves, how can I supress these two valve springs to release the tension on the cam lobes in order to remove the cam shaft?
Life is short so enjoy it while it lasts. Buy an E30!

Support the cylinder head in such a way that the valves are free to move.
Then rotate the cam until the cam lobes are facing away from the rockers.
