Quote: Alright guys...are there any secrets to getting the valve springs off so I can put on the light springs to check ptv clearance? I have a spring compressor that is a fork style with the wheel that turns on the top to compress the spring.
The springs on the Eddy heads have some kind of flat spring on the inside of the actual valve spring. The fork doesn't grab the inner flat spring. Is this a problem?
I can compress the outer spring and get a lot of up and down play in the valve and spring but the valve retainer doesn't budge so I can't get to the locks? Help.
That flat spring is a damper. You are probably going to have to air up the chambers go get enough room to remove the keepers ( verses using the piston at TDC ), especially with that type of spring compressor. You really need to invest in an over center lever type spring compressor.
