8n valve train

(quoted from post at 11:55:58 09/22/20) Im about to remove the valve train and Ive seen where people have used a modified screwdriver to stick in the exhaust port and hook onto something to compress the spring so you can remove the clip. I cant see anything to hook onto all I see is the valve stem. What am I missing?

(quoted from post at 14:02:52 09/22/20) Ok, maybe I understand this now. The screw driver doesn t actually
"hook" anything, it just pivots so it s pushing down on the guide. Is
this correct?

You push down on the valve guide that is if you are lucky and they are not stuck... It rare I get that lucky are have the time to un-stick them.

Another way to do it fast as long as it has standard OEM valves if it has free rotating exhaust valves this may not work.

When all else fails heat the spring with a propane torch while lifting up on the valve stem this will cause the spring to collapses you can then remove the keepers, valves then the spring. "TIP" plug the oil holes down thru the block so a keeper does now fall into the oil pan... Once the valves are out drive the guide out from the top side with a brass punch are steel tho steel may damage the guide to where its not usable... Its rare to see a good used guide they are throw away items...

My time is to valuable to fudge with it long new springs that you should buy anyways are cheap... : )
