Awesome! Thanks for doing this writeup. Now I can see why it would have been hard/impossible to do this in the car...

This should definitely be stickied.

I think we should leave it in the 2V section for a little while then move it to the How To's what do you think?

Nice job by the way!

Thanks alot, yea thats fine in he 2v section, i was thinking its more specifice for 2v then for a how 2.... but its def up to you. i have more stuff im going to be doing, if wanted/requested i can do a write up. with all data at my disposal i have the ability to get some pretty in depth info.

Nice write-up Duffy.
Next time I see you we should put the cam back in one of the heads and have someone take pics so you can do a step-by-step.
And don't worry about the spring compressor tool, I won't need it for a while.

You think the ford spring tool is a must? I wonder if any style spring compressor will work.

duff daddy · Oct 23, 2009

I havent seen the ford, the one i used was just a Head On Car tool it was an aftermarket make. Pain in the butt at times when it would slip off but it worked well. I used head OFF car one after to put a missing keeper back in, and that worked really well.

I bought one from autozone and it worked great.

BTW a magnet works awesome in getting the keepers off....and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don't drop a keeper into the oil passages...trust me it took freakin 2 weeks to get that thing out of there.
