Gil, do not give up, if you give up like mikey wants you to do, you will not ever learn anything, you are not the only one to mess up. do like I asked in the earlier post and take your time, it's not one of those things that you rush. on the spring note, look on epay for a flat head valve spring tool, will make things way more gooder. when you get the springs off, pull each valve up about a quarter of an inch and wiggle back and forth, I think you should have 1 1/2 to 2 thousants of an inch(not sure) a piece of typing paper is 2 1/2 thick for refrence. if they don't just wobble around a lot you will be alright. I have had to do things the cheap way all my life, not everyone has that 3500 bucks to just run down to the local shop and say "do it" I can do it cheap and still make it 98% right. and keep doing it till you learn how!!
