Ba xr6 turbo misfiring for a second

[k31th]

it's done all of the time, so yes, of course it's safe. Have a look at this video link (around 14m30s in if the link doesn't take you straight there) you can watch somebody else do it to see what's involved (he doesn't have a compressor connected and the head is separated in the video, but it is the same tool used)

Okay I’ll watch it now, I’ll try find another mechanic who can remove them and replace new ones in without removing the head m.

this same tool is usually used to also compress the springs

There is an air line that fills the cylinder and then there a valve spring compressor tool. They are different and now you know. That'll be $35

[k31th]

of course there's a separate air line haha but the tool comes with the ability to connect an air-line, right?

[Puffwagon]

No it just has a hole through the middle to let the line pass through.

@Puffwagonwhat price do you thinking should be charged for valve springs replacement 

[Puffwagon]

I reckon keef is on the money with his estimate. A decent set of springs cost about $400 to $500 and then there is about $600 labour, depending on the rate.

 

As he said, you can do the job with the head on the car. If someone suggests otherwise they haven't done the job before, and as such will take longer and charge more for labour, more than likely.
