Re: Anyone with a valve spring compressor i can use with the head on for rent

Man Its too bad I get a 50% discount on snapon BUT he just came to our school.
As for this rope crap, I dont understand that. BUT What you can do is...
Make sure all the valves in that cylider are closed.
Hook up a cylider leak tester(to put compressed air into the cylinder)
remove the spings and magicly the valves stay in place(it may be because of the compressed air below it that is forcing it up into its seat, but who knows )

A. You'll need a big ass compressor.
B. There's still a chance that the valves will drop down into the chamber.

Re: Anyone with a valve spring compressor i can use with the head on for rent

Well maybe i wil do the rope and then also try and keep the clynders full of air. Also i heard from someone that if you rotate each cylinder to top dead center when you do it they wont fall far enough that you can reach them with a needle nose if they fall a littile, but thats sounds way to dangerous for me.
Here is the link to the ebay ones i was talking abotu earlier.

Working on it as we speak.

Also, I am working on a tool that will hold the valves up without using air or compression while the head it still on the car. Just to make things a lot easier!

Use a compression tester adapter and put about 60psi of air into the cylinder to hold the valves up. The lisle tool number is 16750 and I bought it for $26. Its a lot easier with just using air then using rope. You just do the four on that cylinder than pressurize the next cylinder and do those four.

So bought the lisle compressor and not to be a jerk, but there is no way you found the kind of clearence with that took to do them. Which sucked because i had to take out and put cams back in for nothing. Back to square one anyone got a JTC or Schely compressor i can rent.
