What you do different in new video?

[@DarkZeroNemesis1]

Oi why you posting fake shit your fishing bruh.

[@Alan_Hans__]

Looks like the newer version has been deleted :( This version is great. Would have been nice to see what you had done that was different/better.

[@FINDITFIXITRESTOREITBUILDIT]

@Alan H was just filmed with a better camra and better explanations to what to do. I can't find the video on my page I'm not sure where it has disappeared to but I never deleted it.

[@nnajijohn3577]

Now this is the best DIY video I've ever seen

[@jasonbentley2819]

Just want to say a big thank you. I just finished changing my stem seals today after following your diy instructions. I couldn't use the cable tie tip because my springs were too small to compress with just cable ties so I used a spring compressor to do that but I loved your tip about the magnetic socket and metal mallet. It worked beautifully. Thanks :) tell you what though, I have a D15 and changing 16 seals is so time consuming!

[@Octoblu07]

Very innovative; people like yourself make the world go 'round and are indispensible in hard times; keep it up.

[@MADMODS]

Thanks (",)

[@gregneilsen2967]

That looks ingenious, it was going to cost $40 to $85 for a tool that I would never use again. I have checked out a few stem seal videos and yours is the best. I will give it a go today, thanks!

[@whitenight9988]

best video iv seen on changing valve seals with just run of the mill tools,

[@GeckoTDFarg]

Good tutorial - I used I few times - First, use "Sintetic" rope like him - Don't leave dirt and it's more difficult to have a knot - Then the part of the zip ties, buy good ones or just buy a "Valve spring compressor" it's a cheap tool and very effective for hard springs.- Move the piston with the hand, and then you can put it in first Gear, to prevent go down again, when you are working in the valves doing force down.- When you finish, move the piston and then remove the rope.- Then always check the timing usually it's not going to move because you don't remove the belt, but it's double-check and VERY important, check the valve clearance, after finish in d16y8 are for example 0.20 mm for intake and 0.25 for exhaust.- If everything it's fine, just enjoy!

[@110445p]

This is a great video. Especially the use of a magnet to get the retainers out. Thank you.

[@Richie65afc]

Brilliant video. Never thought about this. You can learn so much of other people. Thanks for uploading this.

[@denisohbrien]

Actual genious, I have all the right kit to do this in situ in work in minutes, but for your average fellow doing this on the driveway this saves the cost of all those tools . Bit more time consuming but a productive way to spend a lazy afternoon and save some dough, nice one. And no need to disturb the timing belt. Or inlet exhaust and head gaskets.

[@anthonywelch5167]

Just used this technique on my 1998 Honda accord 2.3l vtec. AWSOME, I had the valve stem seals replaced in the time it would usually take to remove the head. Great video. Thanks.

[@doridore1234]

Awesome man I'm also looking to do this in my F series accord, glad to hear it worked! Just to confirm, you don't have to remove the cam gear or camshaft to do this?

[@gravelbags2479]

Looks so easy and yet terrifying at the same time

[@MADMODS]

THE ROPE IS USED TO HOLD THE VALVES UP IN THE HEAD. YOUR TAKING THE RETAINERS AND SPRINGS OFF TO GET TO THE SEALS WITHOUT THE ROPE THE VALVES WOULD DROP INTO THE CLYNDER. YOU DO ALL 4 VALVES WITH IT IN THE CLYNDER THEN REMOVE THE ROPE AND USE IT AGAIN IN THE NEXT ONE! PEOPLE STOP ASKING WHATS THE ROPE FOR!

[@bbearhug]

I figured it out after you cranked the head back up. I don't have any videos uploaded so I don't know if this is possible but I would just edit your description if you can. Thanks for the video!

[@blitzuddin7878]

some car has valve seals under the camshaft does this mean I have to put the camshaft back on each blocks I do to compress the rope on everyblocks ?

[@kevinhancock4064]

If noone knows what the rope is for maybe they shouldn't be doing it lol

[@genefoad9146]

Brilliantly simple and effect! Everything explained. Used this on a VW Passat 2.0 B4 year 2002. Thank you for posting this.

[@jimcouzens4797]

What a great idea. I was trying to use a HF spring compressors and having problems as it kept slipping off my Kawasaki spring. Keep up the good work.

[@jimcouzens4797]

Seems like HF spring compressors are great for cars but do not appear to be designed for cycles or small engines.

[@JLUDE01]

I had my D16 head off because I had a bad headgasket but I'm going to use this cable tie trick since I have no valve spring tool. Great idea, I have unlimited cable ties.

[@silverspout4791]

What a great way to do the valve springs.Thanks for your video

[@deltabravo5719]

really stellar cable tie and pliers trick! THANK YOU for my life!

[@elcasquito]

Thank you so much for this video.Learned a lot! I am just a shade tree mechanic, DIY. I was able to tackle this on my 02 Accord. I was able to find a valve compression tool at a flea market, so I used that. Other than that I did exactly what you did and it worked

[@josebarrios2972]

This was awesome video and technique for those of us with limited tools

[@RJSoftware2000]

I can see where if situation where real tight quarters, no space for spring compressor this trick would be quite useful. A+..! Subscribing now.

[@ZayedGR]

The best DIY ever, keep it up❤❤

[@athalfridhu]

Use security glasses and a spring compressor tool for 10$. Valve springs are tipically rated from 200 to 300 lbs, and you don't want that exploding on your face when cutting a zip tie...

[@potardo9851]

Thank you. I have a vtec head I'm upgrading my non vtec 94 accord with and I don't have any compressor tools to help putting it back together even on the table. This cable tie trick is good stuff. This also gives me a way to be able to replace my seals if need be down later the road without the whole head off.

[@mikevestibularman]

DUDE AWESOME ! SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE!!! Im so happy i found this. Thanks man.

[@Tippey764]

He feed it down into the cylinder when the cylinder was at BDC, he then cranked it up to TDC which compressed the rope into the valves, he did this so the valve doesn't fall when he removes the valve spring keepers and retainers.

[@GamingNinja132]

Doing this to mine rn and didn't have to worry about the string part, just turned the cylinders I was working on to TDC and the pistons caught the valves from falling

[@vsvnrg3263]

i wouldnt have believed the cable tie spring compression trick until i saw it. might i suggest that it is important to ensure the valve spring is at the top of the valve stem so those little collets/retainers dont go into orbit when you cut the cable ties.

[@mikeedjruffkat8498]

awesome mine are leaking cause i didnt have money to do mine when i did my head gasket and all other seals and i bought them at honda so i paid out the ass for mine and was heat broken when it smoked my homie said the vavle seals where new but he lied lol will be doing this on my 95 accord f22a6 very soon will let you know how she does and how hard accord was compaired to civc you just saved me buying a new head gasket at honda and intake too that a good bit this is genius THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@MADMODS]

Once the ropes in the cylinder you can do all 4 seals in minutes saves the time of removing the head and saves costs of new gaskets. Took me 2 hours to do all 16valves and put it back together so now to long.

[@gravelbags2479]

The garage said I'd have to skim my head of I got them to fix my stem seals, If I did it myself could I just replace the gaskets without skimming the head?

[@oliverhaines1716]

I like how this was in my recommendations because the title is close to valve steam sales

[@MADMODS]

Yes put the rope in each time and turn the engine over by hand to hold up the valves befor removing the spring retainers.

[@FarringtonDS]

This needs to be highlighted in your commentary MM - thanks, was exactly what I needed to do a small engine job using same theory! :0)

[@MADMODS]

@@FarringtonDS I made this video many years ago on a old phone and was my first KZbin video upload. I have redone this video with better explanation but its lost in KZbin land and this video comes out on top . Check out my other videos or the pined comment to see the newer version. Glad this video helped you out.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn,... The more I THINK I know the more I realize I don't know sh*t. This man is badass

[@ohhailkingbobby1073]

never thougt of he rope method but this seems quite useful if ur not changig a headgasket..saves time and money

[@MegaDan5000]

the bit with the cable ties is gold

[@jasonbentley2819]

Thanks for the video. Really informative and I'm going to give it a try this week. Just wondering, the valve retainers, how do they go back on? Do they just clip on? Thanks

[@axenz1]

Very good technique, I never think about it. Thanks for the video :)

[@j.d.7321]

Awesome cable tie method!

[@s.c.o.t.t.7743]

Wow thank you for your technique

[@ronsinson1989]

Thanks and good job! I'm gonna be replacing mine ad the retainers on my s2000

[@neil_digital]

Some really good ideas

[@stephenwgreen78]

great workaround for all the expensive tools used for these jobs. I think I paid 80$ for a valve spring compressor lol ...socket & magnet/zip tie looks better😁 mine's a dohc so had to take the cam shafts out to get to the springs.

[@predatorinc9924]

dude unless your a professional mechanic go to harbor freight. My spring compressor was 12 dollars. plus all their hand tools come with a life time warranty.

[@pilsnrimgaard2507]

Kind of rustic method but it works. Good job!

[@lilletizz]

Hah, awesome! I just joinked off all the 16 valves in under 2 minutes. Thanks!

[@MADMODS]

No you turn the engine by hand on the crank no need to have it in gear. And about 1meter of ropes enough tie a big knot in it for 2 reasons 1 you know how much you feed in and 2nd so it doesn't fall into the engine.

[@abdulakhtar8586]

Why did you put rope into the cylinder ? whats that to prevent ? planning on doing my own stem seals this has helped alot but mines a B16A2 DOHC so it will be slightly different just been looking at a few videos to help build knowledge lol

[@jasonbentley2819]

+Abdul Akhtar When you put the rope into the cylinder, it will coil up so when you bring the piston to the top, it stops the valves falling down into the cylinder (:

[@richardgordon3397]

another way of doing it without rope is to use a air compressor and fitting that that threads into the spark plug hole and add air to about 10-15 psi ( you dont need a whole lot , don"t use all125 psi ) the air will hold the valves from moving ..they can't the pressure holds them up , and only release pressure after the valve spring has been fully reinstalled with retaining clip

[@billdougan4022]

Thanks Richard Gordon. Someone told me they applied air in the spark plug socket, but your explanation is tops. A+++

[@jepc1210]

Thanks a ton friend, would buy you a beer over that one

[@zerbinauto]

If your valve keepers are not perfectly in place when you cut those zip ties the spring could launch into your face and hurt you bad! That's why it's safer to use the right tool (spring compressor) and slowly release the tension. Just trying to keep a few more working eyes in the world lol.

[@ssss-df5qz]

He lifted the spring cap up to the collects before he cut the ties. There is literally zero chance it would "launch" into your face.

[@Sandhill1988]

I love how everybody shows the job being done when the engines out of the vehicle. How about showing us the job with it still installed in the vehicle.

[@MADMODS]

it's in the car in my videos! engine is in place with minimal removed.

[@kominmin8719]

very good idea. Thanks

[@juicevang8436]

Wow! Just what i needed. Thanks man u just got a new subscriber

[@titorojas333]

Good video excellent for single heads. When the valve steams are bad besides a smoking muffler what other sings should we look into? My Integra is burning oil and I definitely smell it more when I drive long distance. Second question when the valve guides are bad what are the sings when it's on drive?

[@tonyd.2705]

fucking genius!! I wish I would have watched this before I bought a worthless spring compressor tool that I had to fight to make work.

[@dilynarendse5720]

thank you for this video🙂🙂🙂

[@jimcouzens4797]

I want to try this tomorrow. You made it look so easy. What size is the magnet in your spark plug socket and where did you got it.

[@jcraw39]

@rodney Carr. That was the intake side. Pay attention to the spark plug wells.

[@MADMODS]

The rope goes in the cylinder to hold the valves tight in the head so they don't drop onto the piston.

[@christopherlarocque4962]

Excellent video!

[@MADMODS]

thanks

[@stakeout2]

Very well done mate .

[@hahapoppy]

I understand the rope into each individual cylinder, but do I have to re-crank each time? Or just the first.

[@MADMODS]

Crank so the cylinder your about to do is a bottom dead center feed the rope in about a meter, then crank it back round by hand not the starter untill you feel resistance just give it a little bit more just to make sure its tight then your good to start removing the valve springs. Once completed turn the engine back and pull the rope out. Hope this helps

[@MADMODS]

Thanks a lot

[@raft5205]

Very clever way to compress the valve springs! not sure about the rope though

[@MihaiViteazulVoievod]

thats right , when you took ur head to the shop but this man has the head on the engine , you feel the difference? He saived a lots of time and money for all the seals and gaskets. 30 min he replace only the stem valve and how long did u take off your head and placing it back plus taking to the shop ?

[@MADMODS]

when you turn the engine by hand the piston comes up and compresses the rope against the head/valves.

[@ahmedza9303]

Hi great video. i purchased a vavle sping tool for my bmw with the compressor fittings. how would i use air? turn the engine to top dead center or bottom the piston then fill it with air?

[@MADMODS]

+Ehsan Ahmed if you are using air you want the piston at bottom or as you fill the chamber with compressed air it could push the piston down and lose the compression thats holding the valve up . hope this helps. you will also need a air compressor.

[@ahmedza9303]

+crazyvtec1 thanks bro. i should just connect the air or bottom the piston first? or the air would do the job for me ? I just connect and go ahead

[@nibbit1969]

cable ties !!!! What a winner!!!!

[@damoblake6000]

by doing the rope trick do you have to do it in all spark plug holes or just first one to keep all valves from dropping down?

[@FINDITFIXITRESTOREITBUILDIT]

all of them it holds the valve up in the cylinder head so you don't drop a valve when removing the spring.

[@damoblake6000]

@@FINDITFIXITRESTOREITBUILDIT so am I right in thinking when the rope is in that cylinder I can remove 4 seals at the same time then move on to the next 4?

[@ayman171819]

You are very smart, really that's help me a lot!

[@eenkoornnedeerland7367]

well done! do I need to replace somthing more if I do that?

[@ichigo_poet4875]

do i have to replace my timing belt , if i replace my valve seals? i have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee.

[@josegino2726]

Im wondering the same most guaranteed u will have 2 since your turning your pistons up & down

[@MADMODS]

No as you shouldn’t mess with the timing with this method, leave the cam in place and all the belts.

[@marijuanapuffs]

Replace the whole truck.

[@MADMODS]

No its a d16 but this could be done on any single valve spring Honda mite be a bit tricky on a duel valve spring application.

[@FOSTERSFARMGARAGETV]

Impressive! Thank you sir!

[@jamesnorwood7982]

Should I drains oil before I do this

[@MADMODS]

No just make sure its been sitting for a bit andthe engine is cool.

[@MarcelHVAC]

Make sure u use a proper rope that wont leave anything in the cilinder. And search for a spring compressor, they are already starting from 20 euro, this could be dangerous and beside of that if your unlucky when cutting the zip ties you could lose you retainers.

[@AngelGomez-un3dq]

What is the rope for and howndo you kno when you fed enough into the cylinder

[@mikeerdman4831]

Very impressive. Will the same process work on a push rod v8.

[@raulflores847]

how the rope work.....sorry don't get that part...i need to changed it on my 2003 Mitsubishi eclipse v6 need your help please

[@ShadowFreddy612]

Holds the vale stem so they won't drop inside engine but it only hold 4 at a time. Then u put it in the next spark plug hole to do the next 4 stems

[@stefanvalchev8066]

at TDC valve cant fgall more than 1 sm in cylinder why is this rope anyway ?

[@emmanuelhigoy6256]

Thanks for this video. I have a question, can I just fill the cylinder with rope without moving the piston up? I'm thinking about how hard will it be to remove the rope if the piston is moved upwards to hold the valve. Or if I moved the piston upward to hold the valve, is it just okay to reverse the rotation of the crankshaft to free the rope?

[@Smallz95]

Emmanuel Higoy same question, did you figured it out?

[@WeaponsAndBacon]

Great informative vid will be doing this soon 👍

[@parales03]

How about for a 97 chevy suburban Lt 4x4 5.7L. Would a screwdriver work if I put it in through the sparkplug holes.

[@DahCall]

Do you need to adjust tappets to spec after the job?

[@coachwilson5967]

I have a 2002 Altima 2.5 and its consuming oil like crazy. I replaced the valve cover and gasket with a new OE Nissan cover. The spark plug well had oil accumulating before the cover change. all nice and dry now. Have you ever heard of changing the valve guide seals with the head on? The car is NOT smoking and I think the oil is coming from an exhaust valve guide which is slamming the oil into the exhaust...unburned and has fried the catalytic converter. I do not want to replace the converter until I have the oil leak (valve guide seals) fixed. Do you know if the QR25 motor valve guide seals would/could be done this way?

[@PercivalBlakeney]

If I wanted to do this on a Diesel, would the rope get fed through the heat plug aperture? Or would I have to just bite the bullet and remove the cylinder head? Either way.... this method's nothing short of genius. ^_^

[@elgoofy4]

Good video I'm doing this to my civic

[@tonycarrillo4491]

do you need a 17mm tool to get the pistons to tdc so the valves won't fall in?or can you just turn the crank with your hand?

[@Laujboi207]

Why the rope? How does that help?...my d16z6 is burning oil and I have good compression is it because of the valve seals?..

I used to street race with my mates and hold the car in gear for engine breaking when you would rev up to about 6k let off to say 4500rpm then put ur foot down again up to 7500rpm you would get a blue smoke cloud. I had good compression on all cylinders and after this no more blue smoke.

[@angelsantiago9575]

You are the beast mate! Like us here in Puerto Rico! Lol

[@onefastegcoupe]

Do you do the nylon rope in each cylinder for each set of exhaust amd intake valves?

[@MADMODS]

Yes you need to do it in each cylinder to hold the valves up, otherwise you will drop a valve then its a head off job meaning lots more work.

[@MADMODS]

Yes in every Clynder to stop you from dropping a valve. Its to hold them up tight.
