 Got the kids 7A-FE engine camshafts removed for the valve seal replacement. Bought new seals, etc also bought a universal valve spring compressor to be able to take out the keepers. Removed the lifters and shims then dicovered that the tool would not work due to the valve springs being in a recessed pocket. So off to the internet to find a suitable tool for this job. For those of you that have done this job yourself what tooling did you use to remove the valve spring keepers? Can you post a part number or pic of the tool you used? |

Job finished!!!
Hard to tell it if it's burning less oil yet, but it eliminated the excessive blowby coming out of the pcv valve hose. You could actually feel the pressure of the air pushing your finger away from the pcv valve. I used a magnet to help remove the valve stem keepers and then cleaned them and put a small amount of heavy grease to hold them into position while the spring was compressed. The tooling I used bolts to the head and uses a lever to compress the spring, easier to use if you have a helper to hold the spring compressed while you wrestle with the keepers. Be sure to get the stem seal pliers they saved me alot of time. Start to finish was probably 8 hrs of wrenching for those of you wanting to do this job.
