Valve removal
Whats good to soak on the valve guides to get them loose? I have been spraying them down every few days with PB Blaster but have 3 or four that I can't get pushed down to get the keeper out. All the valves that came out look good as well as the seats and guides. I would like to re-use all of them and dont want to damage them.

Re: Valve removal
If you can get the keepers off of the valve stem and pull the valve out it makes it easier to drive out the guides. I never reuse the valves, so I cut valve stems and take out the valve in pieces and then drive out the guides.

Re: Valve removal
50.50 mix, but there is a keeper remover that will destroy the keeper you can also use a small vice grip and a large dis pipe.

This is a good run down: it shows the All-Power valve knocker https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...poison.406585/ This shows the All-Power clip puller: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...alve-516286836 Last edited by rotorwrench; 11-26-2020 at 09:48 AM. |

Re: Valve removal
Just bite the bullet and break the head off the last three valves and use a piece of pipe over the valve stem and pound the guide down until you can pull the clip out with vise grips.
Don’t waste your time using the old valves, the new ones are stainless steal and most likely will be tighter in the guide than old valves. Besides that, they are low priced. |

Re: Valve removal
3 valves ? I'm still confused. Don't you have a valve spring compressor to collapse
the valve spring remove keepers and retainers remove valve then spring the valve spring out with screwdriver then bang guide down with a 5/8 socket. thats what I do because by now and all those years the fork guide remover tool is useless. Disregard all of this if your working on a split guide engine I take this as a 8BA you are working on...don't bother with the horse shoe clip let it stay on the guide & fool with that later. Another strong word of caution with these complete valve kits. As a live and learn we have had guides fail at maybe 200 miles as though they were 3D printed junk from across the pond.
