ajg193 8,907 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Goodrides I had in the past weren't even round, so there's that aspect too I'd say the #1 most important thing is the behaviour of the tyres in moist/wet conditions. Nothing worse than not being able to steer or stop safely when you really need to 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cletus 38,122 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Yeah that's the worst thing about china tyres, I have some cheap 265/30/19 on my falcon which are terrible in moist conditions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe she was on her way to the ski fields..... for some mad offroading in her Volvo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roman 13,367 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Dear people-who-know-things, Any advice on a valve spring removal tool? I've never done it before but I see there are a few tools that look easy to use but maybe they're shit and theres something better. Wanting to use for a 3SGE and 2NZ/1NZ and maybe some other Toyota heads for hopefully easy in and out. @Yowzer any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashkellybarr 1,030 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 There’s a Honda tool on Ali express that can be made to work. Bolts where the cam caps go. been told a small amount of compressed air down the spark plug hole will help hold the values in with the head on too 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kpr 6,326 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I made this abortion to do 20v stem seals in place. then promptly modified it to fit 16v. double banger 2 springs at a time 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajg193 8,907 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I've seen rope used in cylinder to hold valves up when air isn't available 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raizer 17,743 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Rope worked better than air in my shitty old 4g63 when I did the stem seals. Was just lucky I had the piston at TDC and it caught the valve that wanted to drop lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roman 13,367 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I remember on a forum ages ago a guy tried the rope thing, and it tied a knot in itself and he couldnt get it out haha. Eventually got it free but something to be wary of. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
