Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to find an in situ method! No worries, I have a spare head so I might install the valve springs in the other head and rebuild at the same time if that is the go. Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
