Sorry, this was in relation to removing valve springs to measure against one another. Having just removed the rocker arms, I have a better understanding of how this all works. Taking my time though (no where to go!).


QUOTE=Diesel911;4031339]Not sure I understand the question. When you remove the old Valvestem Seal there is going to be nothing keep the Valve from dropping.

Depending on the condition of your old Valvestem Seals there may be no gripping at all on the Valvestem to keep the valve from falling.[/QUOTE]
