I was able to push them by had with no issues. I thought I remember watching in another video that someone was designing a tool to push them down and recommended not tapping them . I thought it was this video by Speedway motors "LS Engine Cam Swap with Speedway Motors BTR Truck Norris Camshaft" but they just mention "make sure they are fully seated, but didn't show it. I'll keep looking and send you the name (not sure I am allowed to link) of the video where they "pressed" them in with a wrench.
Search "BTR changing valve springs" th-cam.com/video/vmeY3fuYDvY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2FJONSP5s5pppcg5 The audio is a little messed up, but they talk about pressing in the springs. I did not need to do this, as they pushed right on for me. I hope this helps!
Lots of detail, great closeups and explanation of what to expect.
Thank you! I know its long, but hopefully you took advantage of the chapters if you didn't watch end to end. Thank you for watching!
You always want to go with the one piece push rods, ask me how I know.
Absolutely! Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting. I appreciate you!
On those BTR valve seals , do you tap those in to seat them properly? Or just pushed by hand ?
