Valve Assembly OUT! Apr 2011




removed all the valves, valve springs, keepers and seats....

What i did was i put a rubber door stop against the valve and waged the heads on a piece of wood. then clamped everything together... Then I used a curtain railing bracket which i had laying around the storeroom which i bent and clamped it on the valve spring with a big socket... After making sure everything was secure i proceeded to tightened the clamp down till the springs were compressed just enuff to expose the keepers and then used a magnet to remove the keepers....

the whole thing comes apart easily after that...


Now i can send the head for polishing, light skimming and new valve guides put in.... need to get a set of new exhaust and intake valves too...
