I can't load the pictures for this, does this thing really work getting the the valve springs into the head? Like installing them? can someone help me step by step on how to get the valve springs into the head? Sorry I am a very visual person

well,you need to have thre head off the engine, then place the spring installing tool around the head so that the foot of the tool is under the valve whos spring you wishh to install.

install valve seal (push it on there)

place spring over valve,put hat on spring.. compress.. add spring retainers (there tricky and like to fall down in the smallest places,be patient)

then the tension off(ie remove tool).. easy ..repeat this 15 more times and youre good to go.

ok, but like I am looking for like a visual of the tool, and process. Sorry but like I don't want to get this wrong.

I would personally recommend that if you have never done any headwork before, and can afford to send it to a machine shop, do it. I know it is not that hard to do but i rather pay someone some money to do it all for me instead of potentially screwing it up. If you really want to do it yourself, Sears sells a valve spring compressor for like 20 bucks and it works fine.

Thanks I guess... I just figured someone would have done a write up for it

i dont think a c clamp and socket welded together is not a great idea for another 20 dollars you could have a shop do it for you, put on seals and clean it
what are you trying to do to it anyway? those seals are a pain to get off sometimes especially if you dont have the pliers to pull them off then you need some way to install them with out damaging them.
hope this was helpful
