Hey Steve, thanks for these videos. I have this exact engine, and am trying to do a valve job on it. One thing you didn't show in these videos is how to remove these valves (unless you can point me to a video you did that I missed?). I did manage to get the intake valves off, which has the standard keyhole valve keepers. I thought the exhaust valves would be the same, but it appears to be a different type of keeper, with a different method of removal. Do you remember what you did to get the exhaust valve retainer/keeper off, and how it works? The parts manual does seem to show different retainer parts for the intake and exhaust, but there's not enough detail visible for me to tell how to get these off. Thanks for any help you can give!
Going to need a valve removal tool to compress the valve springs in order to remove the keepers. Then usually just need a small magnet to get the keepers out
@@steveb.9204 Hi Steve, thanks for the reply. I actually found this useful video (th-cam.com/video/y74zKAHKohE/w-d-xo.html) that made the difference between the intake and exhaust valve keepers clear to me. With this info, I think I should be able to manage to remove the exhaust valves. If I have time, I'll give it a try this evening. I think the biggest problem was not understanding how the exhaust valve keeper worked, so I was compressing only the springs, while I should have been compressing the retainer & springs in order to get access to the little conical keepers.
They are called keepers on the end of the valves😉
