Valve Removal & Installation Method 3 : Hardly Any Tools Required

In 3 videos I show how to remove and install valves and valve springs three different ways on scooter or motorcycle or other small engine cylinder heads. This third video shows removal and installation using hardly any tools. A socket, magnet, and a hammer are all I used, and the magnet is optional.

When you have a problem it's always a blessing to find a guy that have solution which requires only a hammer.

[@DeadLetterOpener]

I must have watched every valve spring removal video on youtube, and can say without doubt, yours is the best one by far. Clear video and sound, and concise instruction and tips. Just great stuff, thanks for this. Stay metal mate!

[@49ccscoot]

DeadLetterOpener Thanks! \m/

[@justincollins4229]

This guy is a true mechanic. I sure wish I could talk to him directly when I have a problem. Thank you.

[@princeyoung7815]

You're a pure genius man simple very simple method but pure genius. One would not even begin to think this would work. I struggle with mine 2 days until I saw this video, then I have them installed in 2 minutes. Wow I feel very defeated and now feel as if I should have figured this out myself. Thanks man this video helped out extremely, now my sons happy and riding again.

[@richardworden9747]

Best scooter video on KZbin . You have been a lot of help to me . And thanks for all your hard work .

[@thelunatuckshow5230]

You rock! I installed a BBK for a friend and the valve seats looked funny. I still installed it, and I broke down first test ride. I looked at the valve retainers and realized why the valve seats looked funny. The retainers were crooked and not properly seated. Thanks to this video, the scoots back up and running without waiting for any new parts. Keep up the good work!

[@jagathhettiarachchi9373]

Thank you 49 cc scoot, for the wonderful teaching. I am going to try this out on my KTM 390 Duke. Hopefully my thumbs would be strong enough. But your video just have opened my eyes. My valves are really overtight and none of the shims giving desired clearance, I was kinda lost. Now I see the possibility of non seated retainers. Thank you once again, I will take it apart and see. subscribed !

[@Jeff82556]

I had no idea after I just finished my very first time breaking down a Harley EVO motor - how to remove the valves. YOU solved that mystery for me in a concise simple manner! I can't thank you enough. Now I'll just need to figure out the best way to clean them.

[@hornetscales8274]

Found these videos extremely helpful. Thanks.

[@damikedaevil4582]

This vids helped me a lot

[@dutch-nature-history-bydrone]

When i search google for a solution and your channels shows up i just know i will succeed with my job

[@xhenieyneve2844]

Amazing, helpful, informative and straight forward video. I struggled for days to replace my motorcycle valve without success.

[@niconine268]

Very clear,decisive & brief. You come across as confident & competent. This is reassuring & most helpful. Thankyou. I need to check & possibly change valve seals on an XT 350. First time. I'm not so confident.

[@neilbadass5145]

I concur with DeadLetterOpener. Ingenious and highly instructive.

[@onenessseeker5683]

Just one I needed to watch. Cheers

[@morkovetz]

very good tutorial, thanks !

[@drromanr]

Thank you so much for this!!

[@abbey2210]

Great video simply put!

[@yenyz8192]

Truly amazing

[@andrewflath658]

I found a 2012 taotao engine with back wheel in the woods and decided I was going to make it run. It had no carburetor, electrical or anything other than the main engine and back wheel attached. I have been taking it apart and cleaning, cataloging and keeping pictures of how it looked before. I truly enjoy cleaning and the disassembly and your videos are a GREAT source of information. The only thing is, other than a carburetor I really don't know what to do to make it run, and I don't know if it will run but I'm gonna keep plugging away and take it a step at a time.

[@49ccscoot]

Good luck with it. If it won't run, start with 3 things. Spark, compression and fuel and here's a detailed help guide : 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/647/start-troubleshooting

[@AutoMods_LLC]

If you can't reinstall the keepers with your thumbs, a proper sized socket with rubber fuel line inserted inside the socket works great. I had to reinstall keepers with the motor installed and the valve stem was deeper in the cylinder requiring more spring compression and too much thumb effort to do the install.

[@larrykeesee1442]

U sure helped me..I was really having a hard time replacing my valves..

[@tellmesomething2go]

That was so nice.

[@tonyfrondozo7886]

Thanks

thank you man

[@DOCTOR6423]

great job done from Pakistan

[@unrulyjidex4575]

Yh bro it works tanks🤗🤗🤗

[@IamLaR1]

good stuff bro

[@hardladislas828]

If your fingers aint strong enough, a number 10 spanner helped me to push the spring down with one hand, while I had my other hand to push the small metal pieces in position.

[@thomasdsmith7678]

Sorry, I watched and commented on the other video first, which was mostly this technique. I have also made a spring compressor using an old, cracked deep 17mm socket that I cut out the sides with a small cutting wheel, leaving openings to drop in the keepers.

[@joyj6749]

Supper supper bro❤💕💕💖💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗👌👌 thankkquu..My byk CBR 250

[@RANGOArts]

first you have to put something rubbery as a cushion under the valves to avoid damage and for ease of removal and installation. and not all valve springs can be pushed by hands. stiff ones you have to use tge same socket but you put a piece of rubber and tgen push

[@maheshwarbhagan405]

Wow

[@turbocivic8694]

Can we expect any project TaoTao video's in the near future? Btw great video they have helped me out loads in the past with my gy6 scooter.

[@49ccscoot]

***** Hopefully. I need the weather to level out. Right now it's up and down. I want it to be more consistent if I'm doing a project.

[@qwertymanseter]

Thanks man! Been wanting to port some heads for a while but couldnt find a way to disassemble vavle springs. Instant involounterly boner the moment i dragged the valve out of the guide

[@49ccscoot]

Good luck with the port work!

[@maheshwarbhagan1806]

wow

[@ibalberto22]

💪✌👍👌

[@marvd135]

Can this be done without taking the head off? Sorry for the newbie question

[@49ccscoot]

Compressed air can be used to hold the valves in place. Valves won't come out though.

[@zitro_daddy]

It was so hard for me to put them back with my bare fingers

[@itaizrihan5701]

my scooter is burning oil, so i guess my valves got carbon build, how can i clean the valves?

[@49ccscoot]

You may have valve stem seal issue or piston ring/cylinder issue. Most people use a wire wheel to clean valves. Not a bad idea to lap them after cleaning.

[@itaizrihan5701]

Im currently replacing top end, piston and cylinder, and fack me i dont remember how to connect the carburettor hoses, and some more hoses

[@49ccscoot]

@@itaizrihan5701 This is from a 150, but maybe useful : 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/734/gy6-150-carb-connections-diagram Service manuals sometimes have hose routing diagrams. You can also watch my TaoTao PDI vids and pick out where things go. Post pics on the forum and ask if you still can't figure it out.

[@newelthomas1053]

It's quite difficult with hand

[@moslimislam5714]

If you can install them without a tool you should be able to remove them. I think I'll just compress them with my thumb and let my little brother fish those keepers with a magnet.

[@plprasad1912]

We could just cover it with a piece of cloth instead

[@stanleyshults6427]

Whats hold,n valve in place,,,,now try thatwith duals springs,,not that simple my frd,,go back 2 draw,n board fingers want do it folks,,huh!!!

[@49ccscoot]
