Lisle makes a spring compressor for that application,, I have one it works great… Grease on those keepers make it easier like bicycle…or front wheel bearing on the older Beetle… I was yelling Great just as you said it… I do same ,, forget what I actually know… AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😜 lols..
Thanks for another great video… I'm shocked that you didn't just weld a piece of threaded rod to the top of the valve stem and then use a Lambda/O2 sensor socket (the ones with the cut out on the side), a few penny washers and a nut to create an in place spring compressor, you'd have had an easier time getting those keepers in as it would have been fully adjustable from under the van… I've seen it done that way a few times, you just need to remove as much oil as possible and cordon off the area around the spring with tape and damp rags to keep any crap from getting where you don't want it when your welding on the rod and cutting it off again.
Nerve damaging and painful to see someone struggling, at the same time strange force keep you to watch, like eating extremely hot food and ignore the Side effects.
Hey mustie1, I'm wondering if one of those will Harbor Freight magnets on the end of the valve would be too big for you to get the keepers in around but it would keep it sucked up against the valve? I don't know anything about what I'm talkin about I've never done anything like that. But I was just thinking you said gravity was fighting you. I wonder if that little magnet would help. it would keep the keepers sucked up against the valve if you shoved them in.
Couldn't you have let the piston drop to BDC rather than immobilizing it at TDC with the wrench/visegrips? With constant air pressure fed through the spark plug hole, and both valves closed, wouldn't the air pressure be holding both valves closed so long as air was pressurizing the cylinder?

Very creative how you held that spring down, and your as-usual infinite patience brought it through. Keep up the great work!
Brilliant idea to compress the valve spring!
I was thinking fabricating a compressor that bolted to the Rocker shaft studs! This is easier -WTG!

I like the birds providing the background music.
Brother in law had one go we caked everything in grease so they stay in place

Plus you should have put that push rod back in first because you are fucked if u loose retainer down that Hole. Boiiiiiii 🤪
Yeah if you had a higher lift?? If ( a small word with a big meaning) !
Grease …..is the word…is the word…is the word….
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
