I have two unserviceable cylinders on my work bench that I am going to sandblast, cleanup, and make into lamps for my office. I have salvaged everything off the cylinders except the valves and springs as I do not have a tool to compress the springs enough to remove the keepers.



Do any of you guys have a simple shade-tree mechanic method to compress the valve springs?

Use a long 20mm or so socket, place it over the retainer and hit with a

hammer.  Clips and springs will come off.

Steve,

The Dennis Savarese Anglo American Engineering technique...get a 24 mm box end wretch. Make a safety wire loop with heavy duty wire wrapped around the shank of the wretch and a similar loop around the rocker arm axle. Pry up on the open end of the wrench allowing the box end to depress the spring so the keepers fall free.

Works great as long as you have the cylinder on the engine and can apply 

shop pressure to hold the valves in position.



I'm not sure if it will work with the cylinder removed.  Gill's idea 

might work better.

If one hit with hammer doesn't work, stand the cylinder up on a 2x4 or 4x4

to keep valves in place and repeat socket and hammer approach.

Awesome guys, worked like a champ.



I found it worked best with a 12" long 2x4 in the cylinder, lay the cylinder on its side, and jam the free end of the 2x4 against my bench's vise. This allowed the keepers to more easily fall out than when upright.



Question: are the intake/exhaust springs, washers, keepers, etc all identical, or exhaust and intake specific?



Thanks again. I'll post a picture of my expensive lamps when I finish them.
