how can i change the valve springs without taking the heads off if thats possible.

 

They sell a hoes that fits where the spark plug goes and you hook it up to a air compressor. That will keep the valve from falling ( not sure what hoes is called you can find a local auto parts)

 

this is how i did mine

 

I would do it with the air compressor, but for some extra insurance, you can also bring that piston to the top of the bore just in case you lose that air seal.

The hose you need to look for will be part of a compression tester kit.

 

If you don't have access to an air compressor, and old school method is to get soft rope that will just fit through the spark plug hole, fill the cylinder with the rope (leaving some hanging out obviously), and run the piston up to compress the rope against the valves, holding them up.

I prefer to fill the cylinders with compressed air, but not everybody has access to a compressor. If you do have an air compressor, and you have a compression tester, don't bother buying the tool to screw into the spark plug hole. Just unscrew the schrader valve from the compression tester hose that fits, screw it in to the spark plug hole, and attach the other end to you air hose

 

Isn't this just complicated or its just me? Nah, great idea Budhayes3. Had to read it couple of times to get it LOL

 

Nah it's just you man, it's actually pretty simple

J/K bro

 

Done the rope thing before myself... works real good!

 

Damn you guys are creative.

 

love the rope idea. i have an air compressor, just no 220v in the garage. fat lot of good that does me!
