SOHC Valve removal and installation
Hey does anyone have a write up (detailed) on how to remove the valves and install them? What I would need and so on.
I know I would have to remove the whole valve train, cam, etc. Can someone out there help?
Thanks alot,
Brian

RE: SOHC Valve removal and installation
Pretty straightforward. Take all the bolts out and lift the rocker arm assembly off as a unit. Note that it will fall apart if you pull on the ends. Don't let that happen, remove it and set it aside as a unit. Now you can compress the valve springs and remove the keepers. A small magnet is good for handling the keepers but they still get lost way too easily.

You will need a valve compressor to compress the valve springs. You can rent one from autozone for free. Its pretty easy to use. There is one side with a hole on it, that goes on the valve spring size. The other side is solid, that goes on the valve. There is a lever on the side. Pull the lever the spring gets compressed. Take the keepers out. Release the lever. Valve will be free.
