Hey guys,
I m in the middle of chaging valve springs on my J302 heads off the car and CANNOT get a few of the exhaust ones off. I m using a small hammer and socket to strike the retainer to loosen it up. Then i use the compressor, full size off the car type that holds the valve too, compress the spring, but the retainer will not release. I then smack it with the socket and hammer but nothing....i ve got 5 more to go!
SO, does anyone have any tricks that i didnt try yet? I soaked them in penetrating oil for a while but nothing.. The hammer i m using is very small so i m going to pick a nice 5lb tomorrow. I hope this would help. ANy tips would be greatly appreciated..need to get the motor built before the weekend.
Thanks all.
