1-3-2-4 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Anyone know how to get the valves out? I have heads with unknown mileage and since I'm going in this far I might as well clean the valve and seat and replace the oil seals, however I've never seen any oil seals go bad before.

davebugs Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Likely a valve compressor. I usually only need to remove when scrapping heads. And then I jsut smack them with an impact socket and the keepers break and it's easy to remove the valves,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Does the shim over bucket design use oil seals? From what I understand the OTC 4572 will work I need a magnet for the retainers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Do I really need to lap the valves? from my understanding it's carbon build up.. I ask because I can't get anyone to give me a answer if lapping changes the valve clearance enough that the shim is no longer good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Depends on how much you lap. I would not think it would affect vavle clearance very much. It will make it tighter if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
