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.

Re: Valve Spring Replacment - 97 Wrangler
Hi Bill,
I agree they are fun, I sometimes think it would be faster to pull
the head, but the lever tool: http://www.mytoolstore.com/kd/912.gif
requires they have rocker studs like the Chevys. Rather than just fish
around in the tiny space trying to get the keeper out I just use a deep
socket about the same size as the retainer and pop it with a mallet
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O

Re: Valve Spring Replacment - 97 Wrangler
I believe they put a bad batch of springs into a few of the engines.
I 'think' Jerry B changed the springs in his for the same reason.
The lifters are just fine and are not adjustable.
