How To Remove and Replace Valves in a Cylinder Head -EricTheCarGuy

If you need to remove a valve from a cylinder head either to replace the valve or replace the valve seals, this video will help you do that. You can also do this process while the cylinder head is still fastened to the engine block with some tools. To do that, put the piston at TDC compression stroke and make sure both valves are closed. You can then run compressed air into the cylinder to hold the valves in place as you compress the valve springs. I often use my compression tester hose to do this. You need to remove the schrader valve first before you attempt this, if not, air will not flow into the cylinder. You can also use a piece of rope or equivalent to keep the valves from dropping into the cylinder while you work. This method works well if you’re just replacing the valve seals. You won’t be able to use the large spring compressor however. You’ll have to use the Lisle or some other type of compressor do manage that task. Here’s some useful links for you.

Tools.

I had a heck of a time trying to find the Honda special tool and was not able to provide a link for you. Sorry about that. The Lisle tool will work just fine, OR I’ve seen some home made versions of that type of extension that looked like they’d work pretty well.

  1. I've learned three things here.
    1. I need a bigger hammer.
    2. I need the "LISLE 36050 kit".
    3. I need to binge watch Eric's videos more often.

  2. Where can I find the tool from honda for valves that stick below cylinder head ?? Cant find that special tool and need to take my b18b1 vavles out

  3. I'm working with engines we do the same thing but we have a peumatic device that press springs and we use magnet to remove spring locks but you have an amazing tool to nice job

  4. Cool vid. But just fyi, you compressed that first spring waaay too far. You only need to squeeze it jus enough to remove the keepers. You wont bind the coils and it’ll be easier to work the tool. I like to, on a non OHC head, turn the adjuster way out, far enough for the closed tool will fit over the spring and retainer. Then turn the adjuster until you can remove the keepers. Like he said a lil magnet is awesome. Now the tool is adjusted for the rest of your valves. Or at least half if your intake and exhaust are that different. Cheers!

  5. Thanks heaps buddy! Out to buy me my third crv! (hopefully the third to surpass 400,000km) and the one I’m looking at needs new valves 🙂

    Thanks again hope you are well 🙂

  6. I can't believe I didn't think of the grease method thanks a ton! Also do I need to adjust preload even though I didn't touch the preload screws?
