been struggling for hours trying to get just 1 of my 16 valves back in, going to give this a go. Thanks for posting

Fantastic idea of putting both keepers on, then depressing the spring so they just get hooked in the groove all by themselves. Worked like a charm, and I thank you for the idea.

Put a piece of foam in your tool and the press down homie, then the keepers will be pushed into place, 100% of the time

To add to your tool get a rubber hose that fits loose around valve stem and fits in side your keeper and put it through your valve tool push

[shannonjaensch]

Hell yeah. Thanks for cheap easy way of replacing keepers in a flush with head valves.

man im going to make my own i been struggling trying to make one to compress and is been difficult and i need one now so this is a very easy one to make thanks

[hiranthawickramasinghe]

Thx for making video. Rebuilding a Toyota 4AFE, was getting frustrated

[syntheticsoneindependentam]

There should be another part to that tool with the little point that goes in the hole where the keepers are?

Take your gloves off, a bit of oil can’t hurt, tilt the head so it’s 90 deg plumb so the retainer can’t fall out side ways.

Soft springs! I'm rebuilding my head from a bmw I6 and there is no way that's going to work, but thanks all the same!

[clutch_z]

Just had to use a similar way on my Kx250f, Thanks!

Thats F's awesome! I spent up to 5 minutes per valve with a compressor trying to get these friggin things in! Gotta try it now with a pipe and a slug although my stems sit higher off the keepers....? Probably just counter bore the slug.

I find the Keepers go back in more successfully if you put them side by side, as opposed to one above and one below. It's a gravity thing. Just ask Isaac 😉😆

[budhihart]

Wow this is what i have been looking for...easy way to open valve

[Delagringo]

If I filled my cylinder with air to keep the valve up, Couldn’t I technically do this without removing the head ?

[CGVTube]

Thx this video helped me out! Please make more!

[muhammadalibalka]

Its a good idea, anyhow I put a piece cloth on it and press it slowly, it works 98 percent times

[kevinhancock]

Nice . This work ok on (only 2 ) valves with head on strong trick ? Bloody pissed off kicking myself for not noticing /checking 100%

[reidspeed]

Would a dab of Greece on the keepers help ..I'm just about to do this
