Default removing valves

tony

There was a nifty aftermarket device available for removing stuck valve guides on those Ford motors .. Its a length of rod shaped to fit around the valve head .. the lower end is hollowed to fit around the valve stem .. you carefully insert the tool down into the port, around the valve , then hit the tool with a hammer , the split guides will sometimes become stuck and the normal lever tool wont move them.This tool moves them every time .

Ive got one of the special tools .. Its loaned to a friend .
