Josh Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Very nice. Good to see you waited so long and you're giving the car a good going over. I think my valve stem seals need doing (well, they do) but it's a pretty daunting task, even with the thread by Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D8MOA Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 its basically what people do now but better..... -there's a airline/regulator that you fit into the spark plug hole to keep the cylinder full of air and the valves up ( most people use the rope trick) -and two special tools used to remove the valve collets ( snap-on make a tool to do the same, again used alot on the forum just the ones lexus made are easier and faster to use) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
