Dont do this. The threads for camshafts are not meant for that much pressure

End of the wrench imhos bidding the head gonna strip and bend the stud or uneven presser will do damage to valve

Driving a head bolt with an electric drill is a huge mistake. Not wise. Do NOT do this!!!!!

Yeah but what about the area where the valve cover gasket goes. Is the wrench causing damage?

Haha that's so cool. I like it

I agree,a valve spring compressor isnt that expensive. However,years ago i made a tool similar to change valve stem seals with heads ON the engine,using compressed air to keep valves closed. If one was going to use compressed air to change balve stem seals ,theres a small valve spring compressor you can buy that makes that job easier too.

Yip it's not the correct tool for the job but if you are only doing the job once or twice it's not worth buy a expensive tool. Thanks for sharing 👍

You can do the same with a hammer and socket. To do install the keepers get the proper tool to not risk the threads in the head.

Nooooo ! Just buy the damn tool for the job

RIP the alu edges

if i was in a pinch then yea i would use this method

Quick note for youtube viewers of this video: DO NOT LET THIS GUY WORK ON YOUR ENGINE!!

Very good idea especially for those who will do it once, can’t believe there are so many negative people.

This is a example of being cheap and kicking yourself in the nuts. if you start doing this on a regular basis with any type of performance setup, you will be figuring out how to repair heads. Do not do thisa.

Or make a dent in the rocker cover gasket surface cool tho

Quick and easy way to strip or damage the rocker threads. Please people do not do this

Its not safe will cause dents in body will cause oil leakage from head rubber

Yeah, don't worry about that rocker tray bolt hole. I see Hendricks racing doing this, too. 😅😅

Just buy the right tool for $30 and change both the intake and exhaust springs at the same time.

Badass, Thank you

Now how do you put it back on?
