Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / October 2006Ford 3.0L Pushrod Valve Stems-updated
I probably should have enlightened a bit better from my last post. I am replacing a head gasket, and I do have the heads off. I am not going to have them machined as they are not warpped. I am very experienced with engines/auto mechanics. However, I always work on foreign cars, this is my first job on a domestic for a buddy of mine. I am asking if anyone knows how to remove the valves off of the head so I can replace the valve stem seals? Thanks, Timothy >I probably should have enlightened a bit better from my last post.

In the Service manual, it only show the rocker arms and springs being removed. Are you sure you want to do this? Do you know the specs for torqing parts? Do you have the right tools? Lg I have pretty much any tool I could need, including a spring compressor. I have all the specs and torque settings I need. How does the manual show the removal of the springs? >I have pretty much any tool I could need, including a spring >compressor. I have all the specs and torque settings I need.

Just go ahead and compress the springs - after you do that it should be obvious. -jim Yeh, right , obvious!!! >> I have pretty much any tool I could need, including a spring >> compressor.

Previously you said: I am very experienced with engines/auto mechanics. And yet you don't know how to remove valve springs and valves? >> I have pretty much any tool I could need, including a spring >> compressor. I have all the specs and torque settings I need.

I guess them foreign cars don't use valve keepers.... But what do I know, I've yet to put valve seals on a 3.0 Ford. I've never known them to cause problems. > I guess them foreign cars don't use valve keepers.... I too am more used to furr'in cars. I don't know what a valve "pushrod" is. Should I ask my Grandad ? >>I guess them foreign cars don't use valve keepers.... > > I too am more used to furr'in cars. > I don't know what a valve "pushrod" is. Should I ask my Grandad ? Its the thing that allows Vipers and Corvettes to outperform Ferraris at 1/3 the price.... :-p |
