How To Remove Valve Springs In The Car -EricTheCarGuy

How To Remove Valve Springs In The Car came about after the last video I did about removing valve springs from a cylinder head.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEe8C5u1LWg

So for this video I show how to do the process while the cylinder head is still attached to the engine inside the vehicle. As stated in the video, if you don't have compressed air to work with, you can also use a piece of rope or rubber hose. I'd recommend a piece of cloths line. It's a good diameter and seems to work well as a substitute to compressed air. So the next time you need to do valve seals while the engine is still in the vehicle, you can use this information to get that job done.

FYI there is a video of the disassembly of the engine available to Premium Members of EricTheCarGuy.com. Here's a link if you're interested in that.
