Re: Valve Spring Removal (STL94LT1)
Very little. :D
I don't even use air pressure, I just turn the crank to where both valves are closed for a given cylinder, then pull the rockers and remove the springs. The piston will be close enough to TDC to prevent the valve from falling in.

Re: Valve Spring Removal (STL94LT1)
Damn good question, I am about to do it too.
What is the normal compression pressure in the cylinder? I suspect we shouldn't go over that. Also keep your hands clear as the engine could rotate quickly when the air is applied. :eek:
