valvesprings

[17TH SVT]

i gotta get my valvesprings changed before the trackday so i can hopefully drive down. does anybody know a way to change them without using air or takin the heads off? i dont really have access to a compressor, last time i changed them i did.

take out you plugs

disconnect fuel

stick your finger in number 1 cylinder plug hole and turn the motor over until air stops coming out. the piston is tdc

change that one

they will be paired also via every four in the firing order. example if the firing order is 1 8 7 2 6 5 4 3
1 and 6 will be up at the same time, 8 and, 5, 7 and 4, 3 and 2

do the same for all the other cylinders. this is how i do mine

do you turn it over by hand or with the starter

Either way will work but I always turned mine over by hand. I did mine just like Ryan explained his way.

Also, with the piston at TDC. Put a piece of rope into the sparkplug hole, to help hold the valves up.
