    M20 Cant Release Spring Tension Fr Spring Plate.

    Hi All,

    I buddy donated his 885 head for me to rebuild. This is my first time attempting anything like this. (Obviously!)
    I picked up the Craftsman Valve Spring Compressor in order to remove the Valves for cleaning/ replacement/ etc, but I am having a terrible time relieving the tension from the Upper Spring Plate. I know this head has been sitting out and drying out for a little while so I applied a little oil in hopes to lube where the collets meat the spring plate, but little success.

    Any other helpful tips ? Also, dumb question but are the Collets and Spring Plates reusable?

    Thanks
    I love that people ask stupid questions so I dont have.

    They are re usable if they are undamaged, you could always stick a deep socket over the spring and smack it with a hammer, you can dissasemble a whole head that way if you have too lol

      Thanks buddy, the Jeremy Clarkson method worked like a charm.
