What tool do I need to attach the keepers to the end of the valves? those little tiny things are annoying the crap out of me

 

are you referring to putting the keepers back in?

i just used a pen magnet

 

Yeah that's what I meant, and yeah I thought about that before I took my nap. that's probably what I'm gonna do. almost what did you use to remove the valves seals?

 

big needle nose vice grips.

 

lol. Just pull and twist correct? Had a hard time getting trying to get those suckers off after school. oh well round 2 tomorrow

 

I used some sliding jaw pliers. The straight kind, not the angled kind (not sure if I'm being clear enough in my description). Anyway, I used a 17mm socket and a hammer to remove the springs, and this neat spring compressor to put it together. I've never seen one like this. I borrowed it from someone else, so I'll ask where he got it

 

oh all right. please do ask. cause yeah we had a tough time trying to figure it out. but then things started coming together at end of the day. so yeah, more work on it tomorrow

 

put some grease on it to make it stick
vaseline works too
