Stuck Valvesprings
So I go to swap my valvesprings out this weekend...
HRM, spring doesn't lift up Get out Needlenose... same thing. Try prying it up with a screwdriver... Still doesn't move
I remember when I installed them they kind of 'snapped' over the seat, but now, they dont come out. It could have been that the engine was warm so maybe if its cooled down the seat will contract a little, then I can try heating up the valvespring seperatly. Anyone else have an idea? I am using the Summit (same as Moroso) spring remover.
Springs are Comp 983, and there on Iron heads.
