The Ford Barn - View Single Post - I’m sure it’s been asked but I need help with removing valves

I have taken a piece of pipe cut to just fit under the valve with the spring compressed, valve all the way open. You will have to saw it length wise so it can go around the stem, tap the head of the valve with a 5 lbs, it should drive out the guide enough to remove it from the cam side. You'll have to take keepers and old spring out to get room. Hot from back yard mechanic!!
