im looking to do my valve stem oil seals in situ, does anyone know where i can get this valve spring compressor?? spring compressor part no. KV10111300,

 

it bolts on to the top of the head and allows the spring to be compressed without removing the heads!!

 

cheers.

who makes it?? is it a Nissan part?

try Mike Feeney if it is

yep its a nissan part number, good idea i will give mike feeney a ring see what magic he can work for me :hyper:

doing it this way you are gonna have to make sure the piston is at its highest point on each cylinder you work on , because if a valve drops into the cylinder your not getting it back ;)

tdc on the compression stroke & fill the cyl with compressed air - jobs a goodun ;)

LOL!! yeah that would be a nightmare if the valves fell into the cylinder!!

 

then i would rip the heads off in a temper and forget where everything goes :tongue:

 

how much of a job is it to remove the plennum??
