I BET YOU GUY'S HAVEN'T SEEN THIS HACK DONE BEFORE!

[@SeanHoltzman]

Not inherently a bad option, just be careful! Saw this done on an engine that came to an old shop I worked at after a cam swap at another shop that then caused an oil light. They didn't realize a chunk of zip tie had broken off when cutting and clogged an oil return passage

[@derekbuilt7761]

That's why you look over and double check. I have been doing this since 1997 when I was racing Motocross and never had a issue.

[@Longtrailside]

So what caused the valves to burn up? Clogged cat?

[@derekbuilt7761]

Lack of valve adjustment and the head gasket was kicking out. It was taking in coolant in the cylinder and it caused this issue.

[@Longtrailside]

@@derekbuilt7761 Ahh, that'll do it. Thanls for the reply.

@@Longtrailside anytime brother

[@AllanBrogdon]

Looks like the valve was too sharp getting hot easily. Could be an intake leak or combination. 150,000 miles isn't much unless there's something else wrong.

[@billybowbob2071]

I remember installing coil suspension springs that way using old bicycle chain rather than zip ties... Your deal is much safer.

[@derekbuilt7761]

Nice and thank you bud!

[@rickh3694]

didn't know valve springs were that light .

[@derekbuilt7761]

Amazing right!

[@davidkeeton6716]

You are dealing with some Bic pen springs there. BWAAHAHAHA

[@Bassotronics]

Awesome. Do you know anybody who can swap an engine? Put a Toyota Corolla engine in a Hyundai Veloster? My Veloster is in great condition but the engine is a time bomb.

[@alexgoldstein7997]

It doesn't work like that. JS

[@beretta8633]

There’s probably a recall for that

[@mpeg4me]

❤ The video. Thank you for sharing. Question - did you need to have the seat cut or did you lap in the valves? Where you replacing with OE valves? Basically, how did you get them to seal?

[@derekbuilt7761]

I had the machine inspect the valve seats and everything checked out. I lapped them in and now it's back to 200psi in that hole

[@mpeg4me]

@@derekbuilt7761 that's awesome. It's rare the valve looks like that and the seat survives. Good work.

[@derekbuilt7761]

@@mpeg4me thanks man. Yeah sometimes you get lucky lol

[@pizzandoughnutspage7817]

I wonder if it’ll work on 648 in/pound roller springs?

[@AlysaDunn-r6o]

well that's 54 ft-lbs and it's easy to get zip ties rated for 250 pound tensile strength.

[@SuperBC10]

Wonder if this’ll work with suspension springs too? Think I’ll try it. I’ll let you know how I get on - if I can still type 😂

[@derekbuilt7761]

🤣

[@sinsilius]

Instead of a bag of zip ties just buy a bar clamp and a socket. Cut the socket open for installing the keepers, drill a hole in a stationary jaw, bolt the socket to it bam, you've got yourself a spring compressor for 10-20 bucks

[@derekbuilt7761]

I have done that as well but this way you never have a keeper flying across the room 😁

[@sinsilius]

Haven't had any flying yet 🤞 but I totally see how it might happen 😁

Ya try that with a 500 pound spring 😂
