Are you doing the valve springs with the head on or off of the block?

If you're doing it with the head off of the block, then you need this...http://www.toolsource.com/stin...C4572



If you are doing it with the head on, you need compressed air and a jimmy-rigged compression tool with a caged end like the one shown in the photo.

google toyota tool...no need to remove the head.

[RBKIDD]

so there is no tool to do the valve springs with the head on the block already?and it is a rb20

[Carl H]

there is a tool thats designed for toyota heads but will also work on nissans to remove the keepers and springs from the head, all you need is compressed air to keep the valve from falling in.

[RBKIDD]

so the tool in my last post is that the one your talking about

[Carl H]

yes.

[Darius]

How does that thing even work? I have never seen one like that before.

[Carl H]

i dunno but it works damn well, one of my good friends is a tech and he says it was one of the best tool investments he's made.besure to change the valve stem seals while you're in there...midas well.

Love that tool. Used it changed my friends valve springs in his SR20VE with the motor in the car. All you do is put the motor to BTDC then take the cams out fill #1 with air put the tool over the retainer and give it a whack and it will comress the valve spring and pop it goes. It has a little magnet so you won't looks the little bits lol.

[Suicide.Veteran]

and what about putting the keepers back on???

[Yellow4g63]

slip them over the retainer place the tool over the retainer and valve and give it a lil whack. easy as that.

Why didn't anyone mention this about a year ago when I was pulling my head and cams like it was my job?
