This video shows how to install and reinstall valve springs on a Subaru Wrx EJ205 cylinder head. This method is quick, simple, and can be used on many other cylinder heads.
Removing the retainer keepers requires: vice grips, a spark plug socket, and a pen magnet.
Reinstalling the retainer keepers requires: 4x folded piece of plastic, spark plug socket, vice grips.
I found this method on RU-vid. Thanks RU-vidrs! I am reposting to make this technique more visible and to show how quick it is. Hopefully it can help you!
This is my other valve spring / keeper tool:

@fox10169 6 лет назад

This works perfectly ! I just put magnets inside the socket so it sucks the keepers and retainer inside, and instead of two vice grips as handles I just used one big one so I had a bigger area for the palm of my hand. Had all the intake valves out in about 7 minutes. You're the fucking man!

+Fox thanks fox!

@fox10169 6 лет назад

Immortan Jon no problem, bud! I got a set of sohc ej251 heads for a cheap turbo build I'm doing, got it for free because the intake valves were rusty. I was poking around the internet on diy valve spring compressor before I spent the $50 on one, came across your video and was just like nahhhh that's bull shit. Couldn't be more wrong. Can't wait to try that trick to install them as well when the new valves come in

Wait just so I think I have this right as far as the reinstallation goes. You put the valve spring in, and then you put the valve keeper in the hole, and a piece of thick paper over it so they stay in place and then when you compress they just seat themselves in?

I didn't see how you used the plastic to hold the keepers in place while putting them back in. Any trick?

@dukeofnyd1 4 года назад

The plastic just sits between the keeper and thr socket. No magic. If the keepers are positioned right, the plastic has just the right amount of flex, and you push the socket straight and deep enough, the keepers will drop into place. Good luck!

Hey, I have valves that have ridges to stop the things, the problem is that the springs are way too strong to compress to a level where I can insert them in. Any advice

@dukeofnyd1 3 года назад

Hi, you need to get stronger! Jk. If your springs are too strong for this method you need to use a conventional valve spring compressing tool that uses a clamp, lever, or some other mechanism to compress the spring. Good luck!

@ilikemyboost 6 лет назад

Nice tool. U have something under your valve at the bottom? Because when i do the same as you, i move with everything and when i put nut under the valve, than i cant compress :D :D

@dukeofnyd1 6 лет назад

I put a semi-balled up rag under the combustion chamber part of the head so the valves dont move.

@davidkina5627 5 лет назад

Use loooong length of rope to fill cylinder sparkplug hole @ bottom dead center then rotate crank to top dead center & rope will compress under the valve when the piston goes up. Be sure to use breaker bar & strap to keep constant pull on bar & pressure on valves so it wont rotate back & lose ur valves

@dukeofnyd1 5 лет назад

If you the heads are still on the engine and the valves are still good, you can air up the cylinder using a compression tester hose with the valve core removed.

@mehnlo 6 лет назад

I’m unclear how that plastic thing was able to push the keepers back in. I rented a shitty tool from autozone and the grips that grabs the spring slide off and the keepers shot out somewhere.

@dukeofnyd1 6 лет назад

mehnlo its magic - Actually i think its because plastic is flexible enough to allow everything to move enough but firm enough to keep the keepers generally in place until the drop in. Good luck finding them 👍

@jetmunro4788 3 года назад

For anyone who wants to do this trick without removing the head you can feed a few feet of small rope through the spark plug hole and then turn the crank till the piston is hits the rope. This will hold the valve in place. Then when your done just pull the rope back out.

@brotomwang8218 3 года назад

Or just pressurize it. Summit sells tools for $20 find out your spark plug thread

@jet4022 3 года назад

@@brotomwang8218 that’s true too! But the rope trick is a lot easier if you don’t have a compressor. Also you don’t have to worry about damaging anything by over pressurizing as a lot of compressors can easily reach 100 psi which is way too much. Also if you don’t get enough pressure in there, then bye bye valve.

@brotomwang8218 3 года назад

@@jet4022 how is 100psi too much? lol motors reach 170+psi of compression. and you shouldnt need more than 50psi. I wouldnt put a rope in my motor. The best way is to just turn the motor into the positions where the piston are at the top & both valves are closed (compression stroke). im about to do this job myself on my Evo and i think thats what im gonna do

@thefakedoctorphil 3 года назад

And hope the rope doesn't form a Knot, when you try to pull it out. Read that on another forum. Cheers

@cryeredd7563 2 года назад
