Now this is the best DIY video I've ever seen

Just want to say a big thank you. I just finished changing my stem seals today after following your diy instructions. I couldn't use the cable tie tip because my springs were too small to compress with just cable ties so I used a spring compressor to do that but I loved your tip about the magnetic socket and metal mallet. It worked beautifully. Thanks :) tell you what though, I have a D15 and changing 16 seals is so time consuming!

Very innovative; people like yourself make the world go 'round and are indispensible in hard times; keep it up.

That looks ingenious, it was going to cost $40 to $85 for a tool that I would never use again. I have checked out a few stem seal videos and yours is the best. I will give it a go today, thanks!

This is a great video. Especially the use of a magnet to get the retainers out. Thank you.

Good tutorial - I used I few times - First, use "Sintetic" rope like him - Don't leave dirt and it's more difficult to have a knot - Then the part of the zip ties, buy good ones or just buy a "Valve spring compressor" it's a cheap tool and very effective for hard springs.- Move the piston with the hand, and then you can put it in first Gear, to prevent go down again, when you are working in the valves doing force down.- When you finish, move the piston and then remove the rope.- Then always check the timing usually it's not going to move because you don't remove the belt, but it's double-check and VERY important, check the valve clearance, after finish in d16y8 are for example 0.20 mm for intake and 0.25 for exhaust.- If everything it's fine, just enjoy!

Brilliant video. Never thought about this. You can learn so much of other people. Thanks for uploading this.

THE ROPE IS USED TO HOLD THE VALVES UP IN THE HEAD. YOUR TAKING THE RETAINERS AND SPRINGS OFF TO GET TO THE SEALS WITHOUT THE ROPE THE VALVES WOULD DROP INTO THE CLYNDER. YOU DO ALL 4 VALVES WITH IT IN THE CLYNDER THEN REMOVE THE ROPE AND USE IT AGAIN IN THE NEXT ONE! PEOPLE STOP ASKING WHATS THE ROPE FOR!

Just used this technique on my 1998 Honda accord 2.3l vtec. AWSOME, I had the valve stem seals replaced in the time it would usually take to remove the head. Great video. Thanks.

Looks so easy and yet terrifying at the same time

Brilliantly simple and effect! Everything explained. Used this on a VW Passat 2.0 B4 year 2002. Thank you for posting this.

best video iv seen on changing valve seals with just run of the mill tools,

Actual genious, I have all the right kit to do this in situ in work in minutes, but for your average fellow doing this on the driveway this saves the cost of all those tools . Bit more time consuming but a productive way to spend a lazy afternoon and save some dough, nice one. And no need to disturb the timing belt. Or inlet exhaust and head gaskets.

really stellar cable tie and pliers trick! THANK YOU for my life!

What a great way to do the valve springs.Thanks for your video

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn,... The more I THINK I know the more I realize I don't know sh*t. This man is badass

Thank you so much for this video.Learned a lot! I am just a shade tree mechanic, DIY. I was able to tackle this on my 02 Accord. I was able to find a valve compression tool at a flea market, so I used that. Other than that I did exactly what you did and it worked

Use security glasses and a spring compressor tool for 10$. Valve springs are tipically rated from 200 to 300 lbs, and you don't want that exploding on your face when cutting a zip tie...

This was awesome video and technique for those of us with limited tools

DUDE AWESOME ! SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE!!! Im so happy i found this. Thanks man.

Very good technique, I never think about it. Thanks for the video :)

What a great idea. I was trying to use a HF spring compressors and having problems as it kept slipping off my Kawasaki spring. Keep up the good work.

i wouldnt have believed the cable tie spring compression trick until i saw it. might i suggest that it is important to ensure the valve spring is at the top of the valve stem so those little collets/retainers dont go into orbit when you cut the cable ties.

I had my D16 head off because I had a bad headgasket but I'm going to use this cable tie trick since I have no valve spring tool. Great idea, I have unlimited cable ties.

Wow! Just what i needed. Thanks man u just got a new subscriber

Thank you. I have a vtec head I'm upgrading my non vtec 94 accord with and I don't have any compressor tools to help putting it back together even on the table. This cable tie trick is good stuff. This also gives me a way to be able to replace my seals if need be down later the road without the whole head off.

I can see where if situation where real tight quarters, no space for spring compressor this trick would be quite useful. A+..! Subscribing now.

Thanks and good job! I'm gonna be replacing mine ad the retainers on my s2000

I like how this was in my recommendations because the title is close to valve steam sales

Awesome cable tie method!

never thougt of he rope method but this seems quite useful if ur not changig a headgasket..saves time and money

good video, this is definitely going to come in handy...

Hah, awesome! I just joinked off all the 16 valves in under 2 minutes. Thanks!

Great informative vid will be doing this soon 👍

He feed it down into the cylinder when the cylinder was at BDC, he then cranked it up to TDC which compressed the rope into the valves, he did this so the valve doesn't fall when he removes the valve spring keepers and retainers.

awesome video...genius use of cable ties!

Nice vid bro!!!! Cool things to learn!!!

Glad i could help.

awesome mine are leaking cause i didnt have money to do mine when i did my head gasket and all other seals and i bought them at honda so i paid out the ass for mine and was heat broken when it smoked my homie said the vavle seals where new but he lied lol will be doing this on my 95 accord f22a6 very soon will let you know how she does and how hard accord was compaired to civc you just saved me buying a new head gasket at honda and intake too that a good bit this is genius THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Very well done mate .

Some really good ideas

Thanks for the video. Really informative and I'm going to give it a try this week. Just wondering, the valve retainers, how do they go back on? Do they just clip on? Thanks

Great vídeo bro, thanks!

Thanks a ton friend, would buy you a beer over that one

very innovativelll bravo!!

Wow thank you for your technique

Yes put the rope in each time and turn the engine over by hand to hold up the valves befor removing the spring retainers.

Impressive! Thank you sir!

Excellent video!

your the man dude

Great stuff!

excelent !!!

Thank you, God Bless you!!

Doing this to mine rn and didn't have to worry about the string part, just turned the cylinders I was working on to TDC and the pistons caught the valves from falling

Nice work :)

very good idea. Thanks

You are very smart, really that's help me a lot!

Goog job, good idea, thanks

Nice tip!!!!

I want to try this tomorrow. You made it look so easy. What size is the magnet in your spark plug socket and where did you got it.

Good video excellent for single heads. When the valve steams are bad besides a smoking muffler what other sings should we look into? My Integra is burning oil and I definitely smell it more when I drive long distance. Second question when the valve guides are bad what are the sings when it's on drive?

the bit with the cable ties is gold

Very neat method.

Kind of rustic method but it works. Good job!

Good work

thank you for this video🙂🙂🙂

Once the ropes in the cylinder you can do all 4 seals in minutes saves the time of removing the head and saves costs of new gaskets. Took me 2 hours to do all 16valves and put it back together so now to long.

well done! do I need to replace somthing more if I do that?

that is bad ass man thanks

helpful, thanks.

How about for a 97 chevy suburban Lt 4x4 5.7L. Would a screwdriver work if I put it in through the sparkplug holes.

Hi Crazyvtec1, is the same at the k20z3?I can do it my selft with dual springs?

Brilliant mate...

Smart job.

do you need a 17mm tool to get the pistons to tdc so the valves won't fall in?or can you just turn the crank with your hand?

I have a 2002 Altima 2.5 and its consuming oil like crazy. I replaced the valve cover and gasket with a new OE Nissan cover. The spark plug well had oil accumulating before the cover change. all nice and dry now. Have you ever heard of changing the valve guide seals with the head on? The car is NOT smoking and I think the oil is coming from an exhaust valve guide which is slamming the oil into the exhaust...unburned and has fried the catalytic converter. I do not want to replace the converter until I have the oil leak (valve guide seals) fixed. Do you know if the QR25 motor valve guide seals would/could be done this way?

Thanks!!!

Viton Seals bro? Nice vid thnks!

great workaround for all the expensive tools used for these jobs. I think I paid 80$ for a valve spring compressor lol ...socket & magnet/zip tie looks better😁 mine's a dohc so had to take the cam shafts out to get to the springs.

Hi , can you apply this method to BMW 745i 2004 ? Thank you.

fucking genius!! I wish I would have watched this before I bought a worthless spring compressor tool that I had to fight to make work.

You are the beast mate! Like us here in Puerto Rico! Lol

Do you need to adjust tappets to spec after the job?

Good video I'm doing this to my civic

GENIUS

very ingenious

smart. Thank you.

Hi crazyvtec, can this job be easily done on my 04 plate accord k24 engine? Best regards 😊

Very impressive. Will the same process work on a push rod v8.

hi..crazy tec...I have camry 2az fe engine , I need to change valve seals , Is the rope method going to do it ?

Tq sir for the vedio.

cable ties !!!! What a winner!!!!

do the valve clearances need to be adjusted after taking off the rockers?

Brilliant

Genius!

whered you get that bigass silicone elbow for your intake. never seen one like that before and I needs me one =]

Спасибо, чувак))

What kind of rope would you recommend or what rope did you use?

Thanks for this video. I have a question, can I just fill the cylinder with rope without moving the piston up? I'm thinking about how hard will it be to remove the rope if the piston is moved upwards to hold the valve. Or if I moved the piston upward to hold the valve, is it just okay to reverse the rotation of the crankshaft to free the rope?
