How to Remove Valves

[@saleemkader2126]

You have made my life whats left of it easy. I use to get stressed removing the valves on these engines which is not good for my age of 72. I have similar engine to work on. THANK YOU

[@georges6432]

This is exactly the trick I was looking for to save myself $30 for a tool I may only use once! Great job ! Thanks!

I have watched many KZbin videos with people struggling to remove the retainers using screwdrivers but as you showed in your thumbnail QUICK AND EASY especially for someone that knows what they are doing and buddy YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

That is amazing! you're a genius! I already have the trim tool and a Dremel. Now all I need is the ambition to rebuild my tiller engine. Thanks!

Thanks for the awesome video. Saved me $30 on a pair of spring compressors. I just used my spring calibers to leverage it up.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Nice, thanks for watching!

[@csteinmayer71]

Clever! Thanks for that. Just did an L head and I used zip ties to re-install. But I like this tool better.

[@myles5276]

Currently working on an old 1940s concrete mixer engine with a wisconsin engine with the same design. This is going to help me a bunch.

[@mikefennema5561]

Great idea! I replaced my valve springs by tying them compressed with nylon string. I installed the retainer and then cut out the string.

[@philliphall5198]

Or Mechanic tie wire is what I use sometimes

[@dondale68]

Thanks!! I've used end wrenches in the past to remove vale spring retainers,, Not any more! I bent a piece of wire (old coat-hanger) with some pliers for sharp 90deg bends, which I used to turn the retainer to get the slot orientated right.

[@karlschwab6437]

This is great! I have used screwdrivers in the past, and struggled with removing/re-installing the valves. BTW; I am working on the same snowblower that you have in this video. The engine runs good; but I am puzzled on the auger brake system. But, as time goes on, I hope to get that figured out. Again, thanks for the engine tips.

Hello , I just bought one of those trim removal tools from the local auto store, ' super cheap auto ' but down here that tool costs $15.95 . The brand is Toolpro , made in china . Also the proper valve removal tool 19063 is around $50 from Ebay. We sure get ripped off down here on most things , but good video , thanks for the tip. better than using flat head screw drivers and zip ties . cheers.

Dude!! Brilliant tool hack! Thanks so much. 😊

[@mapkrk1316]

Do you have to resurface the head or just replace the head gasket ? Thanks in advance.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Just replace the head gasket, they're thick enough that they compress enough to prevent leaks.

I don't comment on a lot of DIY videos but this one was great. I need to adjust the valves on a Tecumseh hmsk100 and I didn't think of something like this. Also, it looks like my exhaust valve dies seat properly but when I rotate it, it's always out at the same spot so nothing is bent. Any ideas?

[@NicholasMuscat-cl1qo]

ilar small engine can the valve gap be adjusted?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes, to increase the gap you grind/file the valve stem tip, to decrease the gap you need to cut/lap the seat. I have a full video here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJjTn2OAf959l8ksi=GosfKQwKDEhilyxy

[@MattJonesYT]

How do you remove the collet retainer type? Described by an internet search as "Valve spring retainer that has two tapered interlocking pieces that lock onto the groove on the valve stem."

[@EliminatorPerformance]

You need to depress the valve spring cap, and then pull the retainers out. When reassembling, use a bit of grease to make them sticky, then depress the spring cap and insert the retainers.

[@MattJonesYT]

@@EliminatorPerformance Thanks, I'll try again and see if I can figure it out. As far as I can tell there are no youtube videos on that type of retainer so it might be a good idea for your channel to show how it's done.

I can’t find a valve retainer anywhere for my 14.5hp Briggs. Do you know where to get one?

[@jesuscasassr5562]

Thank you for the tip.

[@johncollins8304]

That is easier than using the correct tool!! Actually the correct tool came in very handy for refitting a small tube connector underneath a mini digger. I'd replaced a burst hydraulic hose but could do up the small one because you need two spanners, and there's only room to get one hand in there... impossible..until I thought of the valve spring compressor. Slid it in, cranked down, it held the two fitting together while I turned one spanner. Magic. I'd love to know how professionals manage to do that

[@sonogylabsonogylab2262]

Hi, a little beyond the scope of the video, but i have an old Briggs 5S project with valves retained by pins through the stem (holding the spring seat). Problem: no matter how i struggle, when i compress the spring, the valve stays with it and i cannot get the pin free to slip out. Is it a) somehow locked into the seat? b) simply stuck after 70 years? c) other? note i have compressed and both pressed on the valce (head) and tapped it to release. No go. I don't want to force and break it TIA

[@sonogylabsonogylab2262]

OK, I'll answer my own question in the hope it helps someone. I think the issues was primarily 1) a tight fit of the spring seat on the valve stem - meaning any uneven pressure mad eit bind and 2) 70 years of sticking. I doused it in penetrating oil, and then made a tool that pulled evenly on both sides of the seat. Once i thought maybe i saw movement i just moved it up and down until it began to reveal the securing pin. Nudged it and voila! This will likely be no fun to re-assemble! Especially the exhaust side with the stiffer spring...

How do I remove the valve springs that are retained by a pin? I used the tool you showed but I can't compress the spring enough to access the pin for removal. Any ideas? This is a 1967 B&S engine model 170402.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

You need the fork style valve spring compressors, then you compress the spring and remove the retainers

[@poochie49]

@@EliminatorPerformance I just ordered and received a Briggs spring compressor #19063X. Now I notice that one set of jaws seems to be correct but the other side has jaws aligned inverted to each other. Is that correct? I can send you a photo if you like. This seems strange. Did whoever assemble tis tool make a mistake?j
