can another explain to me how you take off the old valve springs and replace them with new ones, or at least provide a link that explains how to do it
If it is at TDC, it won't fall all the way thru. However, it will fall down somewhat, so I think it will be a real PITA to get the spring/keepers on there, with the valve that low.Merc said:Yes but it will still drop too far and you will be screwed. Its best to get the air tool and do it that way.
That is what im saying. Its not going to fall always way out of the valve guide with it at TDC but it will fall enough to where you cant get it back together without taking the head off.JasonGS said:If it is at TDC, it won't fall all the way thru.

Do you know if the comp cams valve springs will fit on the old heads?I would just get the LS6 springs, I believe they are cheaper. However, for SOME 97 and early-98 heads, the LS6 springs don't seem to fit on them. I'm not sure what year your car is.
Yes, the Comp Cams springs will fit the older heads.VT Regal said:Do you know if the comp cams valve springs will fit on the old heads?
I just recently changed my valvesprings by only putting the cylinder at TDC. I had a air hold, but my headers(RWD) did not have room to fit the air hose. The valve would only drop about a half inch and worked fine for me. This was on an L36, so the valve might drop more in on an L67 engine. Even with the air hold, u should put the cylindar at TDC just so u dont have to worry about dropping a valve.Merc said:That is what im saying.
