Re: Changing valve seals using air chuck: If I have air leaks are the heads toast?
Thanks for the help guys!
I put the spring compressor on the exhaust valve that was leaking and after tightening it up I spun it a quarter turn and it popped up tight with no leaks! It's never overheated. The engine runs great. But--now I can't get the concentric holders to release with the spring compressor on the valve/spring assembly. Can I just tap the top of the retainers with a piece of wood? I love this board.

Tapped the retainer and it came loose--all is well!
Changed the first seal and I'm on to the rest! Thanks much!
