Dude you’re an absolute life saver been just finessing these on with the socket and it’s taken me HOURS to do 13 of the 16 valves on this Toyota sequoia head. With this trick the last three took about 3 minutes🙏

[@tomniles8441]

Coolest thing ever, I did my first four valves in 5 minutes. Thanks

[@mostawesome9610]

Awesome video dude keep at it.

[@Powell269]

I can't believe this worked. I am both angry and thrilled. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, this really worked! I tried a number of materials, that double plastic was the winner

[@frock512]

I’m four valves in so far and tomorrow I’m going to use this method, thanks gonna save me at least an hour worth.

I have been struggling (and cursing) trying to replace the valve seals on my NA MR2. Spent most of the day just on the exhaust valves on cyl. #1 (the easiest). Ready to give up. Tried your method, and I installed both exhaust keepers on cyl. #3 in 15 minutes. Nothing more satisfying than hearing the click of those keepers falling into place. THANK YOU for the tip.

OH MY GOOD GOD! For and hour and a half I struggled trying to make the special tool work, saw this video gave it a try and the first valve is perfect! First try! Very helpful thank you!

[@xbullshet]

Tried with plastic bags, but found it difficult, so used thick kitchen rubber glove... perfect, still got idea from Your video... Thanks 🙂

[@josepeixoto3384]

If you are not joking,this is one of the neatest tricks i've seen in a long time! have to try that.

[@headpainter1]

[@habulembe]

Thanks! Worked a treat.

[@CreepySpiderLegoMan]

You just earned a subscriber within the first 30 seconds of this video. Saved me from a massive headache. I love the ingenuity and a solution at no extra cost is a plus. Can't wait to finish my project on my mazdaspeed

[@band.t2453]

Bro All I gotta say is thank you…like for real for real..love you man and take care..was bout to buy and wait a week until I saw this thank you worked for me on my 1uzfe. Worked like a charm thank you❤❤❤

[@pclouw]

I tried this on a basic Toyota 2e 1.3 12v engine to replace valve stem seals while the head is on the engine and in the car..this combined with the 'Rope' Top dead centre method..(there many threads on it)..I changed valve stem seals with the head on my engine in my car in an hour or two..no more exhaust smoke from leaky seals and improved my timing aswell.Thanks for the awesome tip and trick. Just a note: for this to work you need to put a fair amount of elbow grease in it

[@briansmobile1]

That's a pretty cool trick. I like it!

[@ZoneKei]

Oh wow the plastic bag trick works fantastic, thanks! I used this on my Mitsubishi 4A30T for my Minica Toppo.

[@Tuned4Speed]

Nice job man im definitely doing this myself once i finish up the head resurfacing

[@pacman17]

Thank you so much for this tip!

[@DerekCWong]

Dude!!! Lots of good tricks and how to!!! keep it up !!! I’m also staring to gathering parts for my AW11 7AGE-16V + manual swap build.

[@engineeredtodrive8589]

That's awesome I hope the build goes good for you!

[@retrophilseightbitmantra3472]

great idea for weeker springs

[@nuwanthalakshan8117]

[@jeremycarter3868]

Thank you for the insite

[@jakcurzon2940]

You are a legend.

[@Benzene-tz7uz]

Thank you so much

[@u.s.a.198]

Thank you!

[@Win94ae]

Cool! Thank you!

[@somethingeasy7880]

I'm using a cut up sponge inside a socket which works well also but I wanna try this method. I'll recommend if I feel different about this method

[@somethingeasy7880]

Did not work better. The plastic stretched to much causing it to be loose and I have to press down to far causing the loose plastic to bust and the clips would go inside the socket. 😢

[@mpccc895]

Someone give this man a medal. After an 1.5 hours of struggling and almost buying a $50 tool, i got all them in quickly after watching your video. Keep going broski!

[@impulseproman]

Oh God I was ready to quit because I was having a hard time with my keeper

[@juanpablohurtado2081]

@EngineeretoDrive Hi ! how are you ? what's up with the 7age build ?

[@jedi_mapperp4073]

All these tricks are great, but seem to work when gravity is working for you in the vertical. I'm pressing these onto a horizontal Kawasaki single cylinder mower engine.

[@manosparavida3551]

A piece of sponge crammed into a socket is far more robust than a plastic sealey bag.

[@clidee1]

Only works if you have soft springs...its hell dealing with hard springs

[@2nd2nun]

But i can buy 2 or 3 bags i need to buy the whole box of 24 🤣

[@susanmack8752]

Going to use this on my miata. You just saved my back.
