whitechef Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 What do you guys use for a valve spring compressor? I need to change out the valve seals on an L20 without pulling the head Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 A quick search should bring something up. Some people run compressed air into the cylinder and that will keep the valve from falling, others take that yellow nylon type rope, and just put it in thru the spark plug hole to fill it up and keep it from falling in.

Skib Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 What do you guys use for a valve spring compressor? to do it with the head on youll be looking for a compressor kinda like this one instead of the usual "C clamp" looking ones. Quote Link to comment
