This tool set is designed for compressing valve springs and replacing valve stem seals without removing the cylinder head.
Compressed air is supplied to the cylinder through the spark-plug or suitable injector opening. The resulting pressure keeps the valve closed while the spring, retainer and keepers are removed.
Adjustable Support Frame
The two side supports are mounted onto suitable threaded holes in the cylinder head. Seven positioning holes allow the round support bar to be adjusted to the required height.
Multiple holes in the operating lever and valve spring adapter allow the pressure piece to be aligned vertically with the valve spring.
Compressed-Air Connections
- Suitable spark-plug threads: M14 and M18
- Compressed-air hose for pressurizing the cylinder
- Supports valve stem seal replacement with the cylinder head installed
For diesel applications, a suitable connection for the injector opening is required.
Instructions
- Insert the lever into the slot of the valve spring adapter and secure it with the locking pin. Select the correct holes in the lever and adapter so the pressure piece can be positioned correctly over the valve.
- Identify suitable mounting positions for the two supports on the cylinder head.
- Secure both supports to the cylinder head using the supplied screws. Insert the round support bar into the appropriate holes. The side supports provide seven height positions.
- Remove the spark plug or diesel injector from the relevant cylinder.
- Screw the appropriate compressed-air hose adapter into the spark-plug or injector thread.
- Rotate the engine to ignition top dead centre, lock the crankshaft against rotation and connect the adapter to a compressed-air supply.
- Position one of the two lever recesses beneath the round support bar. Ensure that the valve spring adapter presses vertically onto the spring.
- If the adapter is not perpendicular to the valve spring, reposition the lever and adapter using the available adjustment holes.
- Confirm that air pressure is present and that the valve remains closed when the spring is pressed down.
- If necessary, release the spring retainer with light, even taps around its edge.
- Press down the lever to compress the valve spring, then remove the valve keepers. The compressed air prevents the valve from dropping into the combustion chamber.
- Slowly release the valve spring, remove the spring and retainer, and replace the valve stem seal.
- Reassemble the components in reverse order.
