OP steveo Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 45 Michigan	Has anyone replaced the valve springs without removing the head? I have done it on some engines by making a pressure fitting to put in the plug hole and putting a couple psi or air to hold the spring closed and then remove and replace spring. Just wondered if anyone has done it and if so how they did it.
