Made up a spring compressor to remove the seals in place.....





Then had to modify the tool to get to the back two exhaust valves....

Not cool... But Cool tool!

Nice tip!

Might I suggest bending your tool just to the handle side of the elongated hole.
Give yourself a little more heel room.

-Enjoy

I need to quit my day job and become independently wealthy... while I'm waiting that to come to be..

I did yard work and BBQ'd with the wife n kids before my grave shift rather than working on the truck. Believe me... I got up early to work on the truck!

Just didn't happen.

Hard piped the fuel supply with 5/8" tubing and -10AN fittings and is gravity fed from the 51 gallon tank.
