[QUOTE="Zoediak, post: 896112, member: 17077"] what I have done in the past was to charge the cylinder with air (through the sparkplug hole), this keeps the valve from just dropping into the cylinder. then you can use a spring compressor to compress the spring enough to release the valve keepers. At the engine shop I used to work at ( I ran the cylinder head department) we had a manual sping compressor that just was used like a folcrum, with leverage to compress the spring. The air in the cylinder held the valve while you compress the spring. I used a fitting like a compression tester to screw into the sparkplug hole with a air valve on the other end so I could pressurize the thing. hope it helps!! [/QUOTE]
