    I need HELP!!!

    Alright need some help, cause its been a nightmare. I have a 24v s50 head. Im replacing my valve stem seals and have all the springs out ect. Getting the springs back on is not working too well. What have you guys used to do this mini project? I was looking at this tool, but before i wasted $60 on it i wanted to see if anyone has used it on the bmw 24v head and if it has worked.

    I really like the idea of this kit, looks unique but want to be 100% sure it works. Also my turbo manifold that took hours to get on, is on the head so hoping i don't need to take it off lol.

    Not sure if the tool you linked to on Amazon will work for re-installing the valve stem collars. Take a look at the first review and the guy says he had issues with the same or similar design of retainers

        Unfortunately I don't. My head is going to the machine shop in the next couple weeks for the refresh. I wasn't opposed to doing the labor myself until I saw the multitude of special tools required. Since I don't do this for a living I'll take it to the pros.

          I made a tool that uses the cam carrier bolts and presses on 2 springs at once. The only thing ive ever had work.
