The rope idea is great but the keeper flying off sound effect was brilliant!

[@bryancondrey6457]

Age old shade-tree mechanics trick works every time. A little grease on the keepers hold them in place on the valve stem. Always have some rope in your toolbox.

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

The ricochet sound effect made the whole video worth it!!

[@volksfolks9498]

This small engine repair channel is quickly becoming my favorite channel to watch. Thanks for the great content

[@Turningwrenches85]

The man himself comes out with something homemade so us guys don't need the fancy tools to get the job done. Always enjoy your ways to creating different homemade tools.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Heck yeah! Great tip Taryl. Yes I have the tool to put air in the cylinder but I like your idea way better. Thanks for sharing my friend. Hope y'all received the stickers we sent you.

[@leonleon8779]

Now that is ingenuity if I say so myself, so simple but effective.

[@na2rboy]

Please make a compilation of all of Taryl's "Yeah I know what you're saying" and then the falsetto stuff. Comedy gold, every time.

[@cliffpalermo]

👍 good trick. I give the top of the valve stem a tap with a hammer to make sure the keepers are seated.

[@dondywondy]

Great tip! And that's even easier than using compressed air!

[@ctbale1]

Oh, I ABSOLUTELY love it when you do your impersonation of a sniveling KZbin viewer.,...priceless. sometimes I rewind and play it a few times cuz it's hilarious

[@1coppertop]

It Worked on my 4 cyl. Jeep to change all the valve stem seals on that blue smoke buggy years ago. Use a 2 foot steel flat bar instead for levarage, with the nail puller hole bigger for your keepers. Thanks taryl you genius

[@stephenzies8867]

Good job. I've Been Doing That On Automobiles For Yearsssss. When I Change The Valve Stem Seals. I have Been A mechanic 49 Years And 33 Working For Volkswagen And Audi Dealers . I Use To Use Clothes line. i Still have The Same Piece From Way back In The late 70's . Glad to See You Have The Same Idea. Good Mechanics like You Are Always Thinking

[@thefixerman1]

Really good method to use, brilliant. Just make sure the other valve isn't opening or open when you turn the crank to compress the rope against the faulty valve...otherwise you'll have a bent valve. Great tip Taryl

[@Hjerte_Verke]

You sure? Not sure I'd want to have an engine that can get its valve bent by a piece of string!

[@williamgilchrist8577]

The engine would have to be on the compression stroke.

[@linkgroundwalker]

@@Hjerte_Verke engineers after seeing this thread: let’s make our metal softer than nylon.

[@bertgrau3934]

@@Hjerte_Verke That would be easy enough, just back off the adjustment for the other valve and disconnect the push rod that way both valves would be closed, when finished reattach and readjust both valves. Pretty simple.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

You will never bend a valve. Rope is softer than steel. You would also never turn the engine hard enough.

[@dgsrks102030]

Love the dinner ! The cameraman was in the way , clearly !

[@andrewnorris1514]

Taryl has that crazy voice he does that just kills. This channel is such a breath of fresh air

[@64samsky]

I've learned quite a bit from you, thank you so much!

[@bobmcl2406]

Excellent tip. I have to check a B&S snowblower engine for valve guide movement. This trick may come in handy if I need to push the guide back down. Thanks Taryl!

[@patdexter9188]

Thats cool for sure. A gas mechanic friend of mine did that. He was a good mechanic. Great video! Thanks!

[@phrodendekia]

I like the markings on the bench to cut chains, looks nice. Might do the same because the stamped numbers look cool.

[@dfor50]

A side valve engine might make that harder. I sometimes put the spring in a vice and compress it but leave enough of the spring up to insert a couple of zip ties. After I fit the spring I cut the zip tie leaving the spring in place.

[@RealWorldGarage]

I have a few customs in my tool box. It’s not the first time I’ve had to re-engineer what an engineer has done, or figure out how to work around their engineering

[@markcdeyoung3118]

That right there DOES SEEM to be a constant challenge especially when you get a hold of a Harbor Freight tire changer or something like that they're a long way from perfection when it comes to being a proficient tool.. some reengineering is required !!

[@jdmccorful]

Great idea. Thanks for the look.

[@phillipparker8947]

I like the rope trick,I've used it a few times on car engines, and on a few small engines. Nice tips you're sharing

[@markcdeyoung3118]

A l r i g h h h t !! Slick trick cousin Taryl !! I had to use that method on my motorcycles a couple of times when I replace the valve guide seals 👍

[@williamgilchrist8577]

Hello, you have a good idea with the tool and all. When I was a diesel mechanic, I would use a 5/16 box end wrench to put my keepers in. This also works with a lawnmower as I have tried it. Yeah, use something as you suggested to hold the valves up but a box end wrench with some down force also works well.

[@thekingsilverado8419]

I still have one of those really big fat Bonney Forge wrenches. Got a hole drilled in it for the valve stem.. Same thing more leverage. I welded a piece in the end of it because of it's like 1 inch wrench... I did that when I was going to Votech in high school.... my teacher like 45 years ago gave me the wrench... I still have it nearly 46 or so years later. Still works awesome... China can keep some of their tools..

[@warrenvalentino5763]

Great video! Thank You So Very Much for the AWESOME information about how to make a homemade valve tool and how to use it. :) :)

[@GalenCop9]

Nice tip!! Thanks for posting

[@57monoshock]

A little dab of grease on the keeper helps it stay put on the valve.

[@Sctronic209]

Awesome tip as always.👍👍

[@thersten]

Taryl is the best in the biz! 👍

[@edmundschwab3463]

Before you put the rocker on you want to set the keepers tap on the end of the valve stem with a brass hammer that sets the keepers making sure the Piston is at bottom dead center

[@graftedin3]

Good job Taryl!

[@stan1027]

Good video! Thanks!

[@ctbale1]

Dab of grease on the valve stem cutout helps me when I am putting on the keepers

BRILLIANT Taryl.

[@2strokemowerguyakaels356]

Wow. All the years of experience really show on your how to and self help videos. Thanks to you you've not only saved me alot of time but money in the long run. One last question do you think a couple used edger blades would work if you don't have a welder,grinder or flat stock steel? Thanks once again and big love from Houston, Texas.

[@308dad8]

I think that’s the point. Just a flat piece of metal that you can bolt in place on one end and compress the spring manually.

[@Hoaxer51]

It might be spring steel and hard to drill through.

[@308dad8]

@@Hoaxer51 Can get a piece of mild cold roll flat bar

[@2strokemowerguyakaels356]

Thanks everyone for the commentary. The main reason I ask is because I have so many worn down ones that are about the same measurements without the keeper hole but when I run into this problem again in my small engine shop I'll be sure to try it out. Thanks again.

[@markwitte303]

i have seen a simlar method to remove the head on a ford model A. unbolt head. stuff cord in combustion area. turn engine over.

[@CompetentSalesUSA]

Thank you

[@jensenwilliam5434]

Last time I did that the keeper went down the in the motor where the push rod goose. So next time i will put rage in the push rod galleys. Thank you for your videos I really appreciate. Them!!!

old school , great vid thanks

[@ronniekeener3802]

Thanks Brother

[@moparnut6286]

This trick is older than the wind itself....we use to use this trick in NYC to change valve seals on cars when no air compressor was available while parked on the street in the Bronx!😁 rope don't let you down!

[@IFIXCASTLES]

Another great idea from a true pro!!!

Thank you my teacher

[@DAS-Videos]

Very clever!

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

The rope in the cylinder trick is as old as overhead valve engines and works better than any "new" tool. If you want to use air, you don't have to buy a tool. Most quality compression testers have that piece, but the rope still works better.

[@pascaleroche40]

thk you so much Tarryl💪...is it possible to have the tool dimensions in metrc système ?

I’ve got this tool I bought. Put spring over valve with cap insert keepers, strike it with a hammer, done. Still have to use rope in cylinder

[@Simplexaero]

Aircraft guys use a similar method with the rope to hold valves in place while laping the valves or adjusting for stuck valves.

[@andrewwadas2180]

Awesome!
