7 July 2018 - 302 cylinder heads E7TE

I purchased a valve spring compressor tool so that I could disassemble the valve train components of the cylinder heads.




The exhaust valve springs are pretty easy to remove with the above tool.  The spring retainer is a one piece style so when the spring is compressed the keepers pretty much fall out and the rest of the assembly comes apart.

The intake valve springs are not coming apart at all with this particular tool.  So I ordered a tool that should be able to make installation/removal ALOT easier.

I kinda beat the s!@t out of that retainer and keeper, so I will be buying replacements....
