What he said… once it falls all the way down to the cylinder ur not gonna get it back up with that unless you’re very very lucky and it somehow fell straight down and landed standing perfectly in line with the hole. 1 in a billion odds… At that point ur gonna either have to use a magnet to pull it up or remove the head to get it back
I actually dropped both valves accidentally in a little Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine… I was tearing it apart to rebuild it and I got in a hurry and dropped the valves and removed the little cam and all without thinking about the fact that the valve is gonna stop the piston from sliding all the way into the cylinder to give me space to slide the crankshaft out and remove the piston itself… even with a magnet it was a nightmare to get the valve back
Since you position each cylinder at tdc before working on it, the valve cannot fall into the cylinder very far. In theory, depending on engine design you may be able to just remove the intake and see the valve stem inside the head. Then you can manipulate it back through the guide with care. You'd want to borescope the cylinder make sure valve seat and piston aren't damaged afterward.
Thank you
Pretty awesome thanks for sharing…👍👍
Awesome idea thanks
Cool
Thanks 👍
Will this push a dropped valve back up ?
As long as it has not fallen into the head

What PSI the compressor needs to be set up to supply air into othe cylinder?
THEY NEVER ANSWER, wtf!!!
Just enough to hold it between 40
