Valve Stem Seal Replacement

I show you how easy it is to replace valve stem seals on a Holden engine while the cylinder head is still fitted on the engine.

Where do you get that spring tool? I fashioned one from a length of flat iron but it’s a bit rough and scratched my spring retainers a bit in operation. Cheers

I got that from cheapautospares in Townsville 20+ yrs ago. Should find one on E-bay I should imagine. they still do scratch a little bit because of metal to metal contact, but if a scratch bothers you then get a small bit of thin rubber mat & glue it to the bottom where it makes contact with the retainer. It should last for 12 valves.

⁠@@mbsoldschoolI should have said gouged more than scratched! But of course, a patch of rubber under it should suffice too. Good one.
