removing valves from block question

Re: removing valves from block question
You need a special tool. They are readily available from parts suppliers, and relatively cheap compared to trying improvise.

Quote:
If you don't mind risking bending a valve or breaking a punch, a small diameter punch (1/8") can reach in under the valve head and contact the top of the valve guide and a tap with a hammer can get the guide started. This is how I have done it on several occasions. Go slow, go easy and you can ease them all out. But you're on your own for damaging the valves or chipping the guides (they're HARD). Wear safety glasses. Joe K

The curved tools loose too much impact force in the curves, and will not remove a stuck guide. |
