8BA Valve Guide Removal
Asking for a friend who has a '53 8BA. He is unable to remove several stuck valve guides. Any advice or special tools needed to remove them?

Raise the valve by lifting on the retainer, give the top of the valve a rap and the keepers should fall out. Pull the valve out and pound the guide down.

Pretty sure I used a 1/2" or 9/16" deep socket with an extension on it gave them a little love, mine were frozen in both valves and guides, and about 8 hrs later I had all the valves and guides out. I could not get the guides to come down with the pickle fork.

Unless you are trying to keep the valves, springs, etc, I just cut the valves and springs up and drive the guides out.

Severe butchery need only be reserved for the older mushroom type. That's my take on it, anyhow. Mart. |
