i "searched and couldnt find anything.
anyone have a good way to install valves,springs,etc. into the heads WITHOUT a compressor tool. AKA: build is in my living room.
i dont have the "proper" tool.
any experience with this would be appreciated.

It's kind of ghetto but you can always buy a valve spring compressor, do what you need to do, and then return it. Actually, most auto parts stores will lend you a tool such as this. Most friends will too unless you're the kind that doesn't return stuff.
