Remove And Install Valve Springs On Your Vintage Honda Motorcycle: How To 

Thanks you for keeping with your ethic of working with hand tools that anybody would have in their shop!

Thank You for the video. Love seeing these newsletter videos in the inbox. Cheers!

Brendan, I pulled both of my valves on left side, I was getting no compression. While using a digital caliper, I found my springs were beyond the service limit according to the Clymer manual. worth a mention, your videos are great! Swinedog

Thank you, this video was very helpful. I just got the tool and am checking all the valves on my CB650C project with a CM450 waiting in the wings. Please keep up the great content.

Thanks for mentioning the lack of valve seal on the 350. The gasket set I used for my rebuild had a set, but I didn't know where they went since the engine didn't have them when I took it apart. I finally figured out what they were after the bike was complete, and I've been stressing about it ever since.

Thanks i ordered the tool and im using it now. Works great!, wow something actually as easy as you make it look for once, amazing now to lap

nailed it!

Awesome I definitely need to know this

As usual . . . . Common Motor publishes a How To Video two weeks AFTER I've done this on my 360T. ;-)

I am not sure if the groove on the keepers are on the top or towards the valve head side? Thanks, Scott

Is that a Seiko 5? I've been sporting one for over 10 years now. Bullet Proof watches! Thanks for the Tutorial Brenden! Happy trails. Zip~

Which way does the ridge go on the valve spring stops?

i ordered the valve spring upgrade kit on your website and im wondering if it is okay that the end of the valve stem sticks out a little past the hole in the top of the washer past the keepers, is that okay/normal?

Maravilloso

Replied to your 8th anniversary email, came back unknown address 😥

Is each VALVE STEM and SPRING proprietary to each valve?

I tipped the head on the side to use the tool

!!!! "The CB350s don't have valve stem seals." !!!! Thank you so much for emphasizing this! The seals come with basically every gasket set. So I installed them back then. Now I'm rebuilding my top end after less than 1K miles (head gasket failed because the cylinder head surface wasn't flat). What I'm seeing is that half of the valve seals have been destroyed. The pieces were all over in my oil galleries likely blocking the oil flow. SO DONT INSTALL VALVE SEALS!

What about if you replaced the intake springs and seal and last week an didnt know about the spring orientation ?😢 ! I am amateur and didnt pay enough attention to detail

Wonderful video. Thank you. 🙏

Thank you so much for making his video. I have this exact tool and im working on a 79 XL185s this couldnt be more applicable to me

So how are the valve locks actually holding the springs in place? I can't tell from the video. Great video BTW! Very clear and precise!

i use my and only and a pick
