Glover Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Yeah I’ve got the code for them, I was just wondering if anyone had both for sale, I’m probably only going to use them once. Or even if anyone is willing to loan them out to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I've bought in a Lisle tool for removing the valve collets. Picked it up for under $30 in the US. I also bought in a air hose kit that thread into the spark plug hole so i can use compressed air to keep the valves seated rather than stuffing a rope into the cylinders. Theory being the engine won't then need turning but i might get scared and just take each cylinder to TDC anyway to avoid the risk of losing a valve when its being whacked.

Perfect, thanks I’ll look at ordering that one! Yeah I was thinking of doing it with compressed air instead. But with us doing the head gasket at the same time the head has to come off and I’m guessing I’ll be doing it differently anyways so I’ll see what’s the best option when we get started !
