Thread: Valve "holding" tool using compressed air, need help

Tweet

Denny, could you look and see if I'm doing this correct:

The cylinder is at TDC (#1), no air compression, and the tool is being used to compress the spring.

The problem is that the locks are still holding tight, there is nothing to push back up on the valve. I am about ready to do the rope because that will hold the valve tight while I push down on the spring, helping to release the locks. I did push down on the system (with the spring compressed) and tapped on the top cap, but nothing released (or even close).


BTW - I did get a remote starter because I could use that for so many uses other than just this.
