Re: Valve Spring Replacment - 97 Wrangler
What is noisy isn't the springs but the lifters.

Re: Valve Spring Replacment - 97 Wrangler
The head does not need to come off, you cycle the engine so both valves are
closed in one cylinder. Hook up an air line to the cylinder put in about
125-150 psi, remove rocker arm for that cylinder, use a valve spring
compressor remove valve keepers and you are there. Also I would recommend
new valve stem oil seals while you are there.

Re: Valve Spring Replacment - 97 Wrangler
with the exception of this spring compressor tool. These things are
worthless in my opinion. I still have one I bought that I could never get
to work at all. I like the lever type spring compressor. These are fast
and simple once your cylinder is filled with air.
