Welcome to AF.

When I do head work, I goto ACE Hardware and buy some copper tubing that's T shaped. Make some little trims here and there and use a larger C-Clamp to push it down. Then used tweezers to put the keepers back on. First couple take awhile to do, but I did 12 valves in about 7 minutes last time I did that.

I used the same thing as Dave and it worked fine. Took me a little while with each valve but I got in done.

Whats the point of that pic?? No one in this thread has even mentioned cracked valves....


lilbone - I missed your other post. The flasher unit is behind the stereo on 2gens. Its a little black box.
