[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]OKAY[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif] here we go, been spending my spare time with the engine, working[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif] c[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]arefully and slowly I have sealed up many a 302 in my day.
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]I take everything I hav[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]e learned, combine it with the best parts we can get and well.....let the pictures do the talking
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]factory next to comp cams v[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]alve springs:
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]How we got there, first install spring compressor then give the little stock spring cup a smack so the keepers come free of their bond to the spring cup
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Lift the valve very carefully
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Magnet[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif] to grab the valve locks
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]stock spring removed[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif], [font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]access to the stock valve seals they pull off easily
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]ALL parts soak in unicorn tears before install
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]new PTFE valve seals come with a plastic install "condom" works well enough, by the time you do the 16th seal it is ready for the trash can. This protects the delicate seal as it passes over the valve stem and indent for the keepers
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]The new seal gets pressed on in two stages and very carefully by hand, I had to improvise since I did not have the "special tool"
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]fully seated
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]new bits in place + compressor
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]both heads done
